قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ:

كَانَ كَعْبٌ ؓ يَقُصُّ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ؓ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: « لَا يَقُصُّ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ، أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ، أَوْ مُخْتَالٌ » قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لِكَعْبٍ ؓ: ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ، هَذَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ؓ يَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَتَرَكَ الْقَصَصَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَمَرَهُ بِالْقَصَصِ، فَاسْتَحَلَّ ذَلِكَ بِذَلِكَ

✧ Ka'b ؓ used to recount stories. Abd al-Rahman b. Awf ؓ said: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "No one recounts stories except a ruler, one commanded, or a self-conceited person." It was said to Ka'b ؓ: May your mother be bereaved of you! Abd al-Rahman b. Awf ؓ says such-and-such. So he stopped recounting stories. Then Mu'awiya commanded him to recount stories, and he considered it permissible because of that.
