حَدَّثَنَا مُطَّلِبُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ ثنا أَبُو صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو الْأَزْهَرِ عَلَى وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ فَقُلْنَا يَا أَبَا الْأَسْقَعِ
حَدِّثْنَا بِحَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ فِيهِ وَهْمٌ وَلَا تَزِيُّدٌ وَلَا نِسْيَانٌ فَقَالَ هَلْ قَرَأَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ اللَّيْلَةَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُ بِالْحَافِظِينَ جِدًّا إِنَّا لَنَزِيدُ الْوَاوَ وَالْأَلِفَ ونُنْقِصُ قَالَ فَهَذَا الْقُرْآنُ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ لَا تَأْلُونَ حِفْظَهُ وَأَنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ تَزِيدُونَ وتَنْقُصُونَ فَكَيْفَ بِأَحَادِيثَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَسَى أَنْ لَا نَكُونَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْهُ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً حَسْبُكُمْ إِذَا حَدَّثْنَاكُمْ بِالْحَدِيثِ عَلَى الْمَعْنَى

✧ “Narrate to us a hadith you heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ without any delusion, addition, or forgetfulness.” He said: “Did any of you recite anything from the Qur’an tonight?” We said: “Yes, but we are not very good at preserving it. We add the wāw and the alif and we omit.” He said: “This Qur’an is written among you, and you do not spare effort in preserving it, yet you claim that you add and omit. How then with hadiths we heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ, which perhaps we heard from him only once? It is sufficient for you if we narrate to you the hadith according to its meaning.”
