حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ
أَنَّ بُشَيْرَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: ﴿فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا ﴾فَقَالَ لِجَارِيَتِهِ: إِنْ دَرَيْتِ مَا " مَنَاكِبُهَا " فَأَنْتِ حُرَّةٌ لِوَجْهِ اللهِ، قَالَتْ: فَإِنَّ مَنَاكِبَهَا جِبَالُهَا، فَكَأَنَّمَا سُفِعَ وَجْهُهُ ! وَرَغِبَ فِي جَارِيَتِهِ، فَجَعَلَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَأْمُرُهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْهَاهُ، حَتَّى لَقِيَ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ؛ فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ طُمَأْنِينَةٌ وَإِنَّ الشَّرَّ فِي رِيبَةٍ، فَتَرَكَ ذَلِكَ

That Bushayr b. Kaʿb recited this verse: ﴿فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا﴾ and he said to his slave girl: "If you know what 'its shoulders' (manākibuhā) means, then you are free for the sake of Allah." She said: "Its shoulders are its mountains." It was as though his face had been scorched! And he regretted losing his slave girl, so he began asking about that. Some of them told him to go ahead and some forbade him, until he met Abū al-Dardāʾ and mentioned it to him. He said: "Leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt; for good is tranquility, and evil is in doubt." So he left that.
