[Machine] "When Abdullah asks one of you about a verse, let him not say 'such and such', because he might be wrong. Instead, let him recite the verses before it, then he can clarify his need."  

الطبراني:٨٦٩٤ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْأَزْدِيُّ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ثنا زَائِدَةُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ قَالَ

عَبْدُ اللهِ إِذَا سَأَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ عَنِ الْآيَةِ فَلَا يَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَكِنْ يَقْرَأُ مَا قَبْلَهَا ثُمَّ لْيَحُلْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ حَاجَتِهِ

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِذَا سَأَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَاحِبَهُ كَيْفَ يَقْرَأُ آيَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَلْيَسْأَلْهُ عَنْ مَا قَبْلَهَا»
