وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّضْرَ، يَقُولُ: سُئِلَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ حَدِيثٍ لِشَهْرٍ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى أُسْكُفَّةِ الْبَابِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ شَهْرًا نَزَكُوهُ، إِنَّ شَهْرًا نَزَكُوهُ». قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: يَقُولُ: أَخَذَتْهُ أَلْسِنَةُ النَّاسِ تَكَلَّمُوا فِيهِ
Ubayd Allah bin Sa’īd narrated to us, he said, I heard an-Naḍr saying: ‘Ibn Awn was asked about the Ḥadīth of Shahr and he was standing at the threshold of the door, so [Ibn Awn] said: ‘Indeed they criticized Shahr, indeed they criticized Shahr’. Muslim, may Allah have mercy on him, said ‘He means- the tongues of men were busy criticizing him’.’
