حَدَّثَنَا
سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
أَيُّوبَ ، يَقُولُ : " كَذَبَ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ ضَرْبَانِ مِنَ النَّاسِ : قَوْمٌ الْقَدَرُ رَأْيُهُمْ وَهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُنَفِّقُوا بِذَلِكَ رَأْيَهُمْ ، وَقَوْمٌ لَهُ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ شَنَآنٌ وَبُغْضٌ ، يَقُولُونَ : أَلَيْسَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ كَذَا ؟ أَلَيْسَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ كَذَا ؟ " .
Hammad said: I heard Ayyub say: Two kinds of people have lied to al-Hasan: people who believed in free will and they intended that they publicise their belief by it; and people who had enmity with and hostility (for al-Hasan), saying: Did he not say so and so? Did he not say so and so?
