وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَافِعٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، وَقَالَ:

وَقَفَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ عَلَى قَوْمٍ يَقُصُّ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ، لَقَدْ فَضَّلْتُمْ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ عَلَنًا، وَلَقَدِ ابْتَدَعْتُمْ بِدْعَةً ظُلْمًا، اتَّبِعُوا وَلَا تَبْتَدِعُوا وَاللهِ لَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتُمْ لَقَدْ سَبَقْتُمْ سَبْقًا بَيِّنًا، وَلَئِنِ ابْتَدَعْتُمْ لَقَدْ ظَلَمْتُمْ ظُلْمًا بَعِيدًا، أَوْ قَالَ: ضَلَلْتُمْ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا

✧ Ibn Mas'ud ؓ stood over a group of people, some of them relating stories to others. He said: 'By Allah, you have certainly preferred the companions of Muhammad ﷺ openly, and you have certainly initiated an innovation wrongfully. Follow and do not innovate. By Allah, if you follow, you have certainly preceded with a clear precedence; and if you innovate, you have certainly wronged with a distant wrong'—or he said: 'you have gone astray with a distant straying.'
