حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ:

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ حَرِيصٍ عَلَى الْجِهَادِ مُؤْدِيًا، يَعْزِمُ عَلَيْهِ أُمَرَاؤُهُ فِي أَشْيَاءَ لَا يُحْصِيهَا ؟ فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لَكَ إِلَّا أَنَّا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَعَلَّنَا لَا نُؤْمَرُ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا فَعَلْنَاهُ

✧ A man came and said: O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, what do you say about a man eager for jihad and dutiful, while his commanders impose upon him things he cannot count? He said: By Allah, I do not know what to say to you except that we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and perhaps we were not commanded with anything except that we did it.
