حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ. ح، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا سَمِعْتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ مُوسَى:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ هَلَكَ النَّاسُ فَهُوَ أَهْلَكُهُمْ ،‏‏‏‏ قال أبو داود:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ تَحَزُّنًا لِمَا يَرَى فِي النَّاسِ:‏‏‏‏ يَعْنِي فِي أَمْرِ دِينِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا أَرَى بِهِ بَأْسًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ عُجْبًا بِنَفْسِهِ وَتَصَاغُرًا لِلنَّاسِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهُوَ الْمَكْرُوهُ الَّذِي نُهِيَ عَنْهُ.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: When you hear. . . . (Musa's version has): When a man says people have perished, he is the one who has suffered that fate most. Abu Dawud said: Malik said: If he says that out of sadness for the decadence of religion which he sees among the people, I do not think there is any harm in that. If he says that out of self-conceit and servility of the people, it is an abominable act which has been prohibited.
