( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثَنَا ابْنُ عُثْمَانَ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَنْبَأَ مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ: أَنَّ بِلَالَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيَّ قَالَ لَهُ:
إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْأُمَرَاءِ وَتَغْشَاهُمْ، فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا تُحَاضِرُهُمْ بِهِ؛ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَعْلَمُ مَبْلَغَهَا يَكْتُبُ اللهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنَ الشَّرِّ مَا يَعْلَمُ مَبْلَغَهَا يَكْتُبُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ

I have seen you enter upon these rulers and frequent them, so consider what you speak to them about; for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: A man may speak a word of good, not knowing how far it reaches, and Allah records for him His pleasure until the day he meets Him. And a man may speak a word of evil, not knowing how far it reaches, and Allah records against him His wrath until the day he meets Him.
