حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ سَجَّادَةُ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَمَوِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَىٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قَالَ لاَ تَقْضِيَنَّ وَلاَ تَفْصِلَنَّ إِلاَّ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فَإِنْ أَشْكَلَ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ فَقِفْ حَتَّى تُبَيِّنَهُ أَوْ تَكْتُبَ إِلَىَّ فِيهِ
