بَابُ مَنْ لَمْ يُوَاجِهِ النَّاسَ بِكَلامِهِChapter: One Who Does Not Confront People With His Words
Hadith 436
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا، فَرَخَّصَ فِيهِ، فَتَنَزَّهَ عَنْهُ قَوْمٌ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَطَبَ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ”مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَنَزَّهُونَ عَنِ الشَّيْءِ أَصْنَعُهُ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ، وَأَشَدُّهُمْ لَهُ خَشْيَةً.“
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did something and also permitted the people to do it, but some people refrained from it. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to know of this, he delivered a sermon and after praising Allah, he said: "What is the matter with those people who refrain from doing something that I have done? By Allah! I have more knowledge of Allah than they do, and I fear Allah more than they do."
