Hadith 34

Sahih

وحَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الْعَبْدِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ، يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرُونِي عَنْ أَبِي عَقِيلٍ صَاحِبِ بُهَيَّةَ، أَنَّ أَبْنَاءً لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ فِيهِ عِلْمٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ: وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُعْظِمُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلُكَ، وَأَنْتَ ابْنُ إِمَامَيِ الْهُدَى - يَعْنِي عُمَرَ، وَابْنَ عُمَرَ - تُسْأَلُ عَنْ أَمْرٍ لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ فِيهِ عِلْمٌ، فَقَالَ: «أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَاللهِ عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَعِنْدَ مَنْ عَقَلَ عَنِ اللهِ، أَنْ أَقُولَ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، أَوْ أُخْبِرَ عَنْ غَيْرِ ثِقَةٍ» قَالَ: وَشَهِدَهُمَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ يَحْيَى بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ حِينَ قَالَا ذَلِكَ

‘By Allah, indeed it is a grave matter that the likes of you, a descendent of two Imāms of guidance – meaning Umar and Ibn Umar رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ is asked about a matter and you have no knowledge of it’. So [al-Qāsim] said: ‘By Allah, more grave than that according to Allah, and to whoever reflects about Allah, is to speak without knowledge or to report on authority of one who is not trustworthy’. [Ibn Uyaynah] said that Abū Aqīl Yahyā bin al-Mutawakkil witnessed them both when they said that.

— Bishr bin ul-Hakam al-Abdī narrated to me, he said, I heard Sufyān bin Uyaynah saying, they informed me on authority of Abī Aqīl, companion of Buhayyah, that a descendent of Abdullah bin Umar رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ was asked about something that he did not have knowledge about, so Yahyā bin Sa’īd said to him
