أَخْبَرَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
رَأَيْتُ مَعَ رَجُلٍ صَحِيفَةً فِيهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْسِخْنِيهَا فَكَأَنَّهُ بَخِلَ بِهَا ثُمَّ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يُعْطِيَنِيهَا فَأَتَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مَا فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ بِدْعَةٌ وَفِتْنَةٌ وَضَلَالَةٌ وَإِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ هَذَا وَأَشْبَاهُ هَذَا إِنَّهُمْ كَتَبُوهَا فَاسْتَلَذَّتْهَا أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَأُشْرِبَتْهَا قُلُوبُهُمْ فَأَعْزِمُ عَلَى كُلِّ امْرِئٍ يَعْلَمُ مكانِ كِتَابٍ إِلَّا دَلَّ عَلَيْهِ وَأُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَأَقْسَمَ بِاللَّهِ؟ قَالَ أَحْسَبُهُ أَقْسَمَ لَوْ أَنَّهَا ذُكِرَتْ لهُ بِديرِ لهنْدِ نُراهُ يَعْنِي مَكَانًا بِالْكُوفَةِ بَعِيدًا لأتيْتهُ وَلَوْ مَشْيًا

✧ I saw a man with a page on which was written: Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is greatest. I said to him, "Copy it for me," but he seemed stingy with it, then promised to give it to me. I came to 'Abdullah, and there it was in front of him. He said, "What is in this book is innovation, tribulation, and misguidance. This and its likes destroyed those before you: they wrote them down, their tongues found them pleasing, and their hearts absorbed them. I charge every person who knows the location of a book to point it out. I swear by Allah." Shu'bah said: Did he swear by Allah? He said: I think he swore: if it were mentioned to have been at a monastery in Hind—I think he means a place in al-Kufah far away—I would go to it, even on foot.
