Hadith 762
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ لأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، أَوْ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ لأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ: مَا سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي (زَعَمَ )؟ قَالَ: ”بِئْسَ مَطِيَّةُ الرَّجُلِ.“
It is narrated from Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abu Abdullah said to Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them both), or Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud asked Sayyiduna Abu Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both): "What have you heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding 'za‘m' (claim/assumption)?" He said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a bad mount for a man."

Benefits and Issues:
The point is that until one is certain about something, one should refrain from acting upon it. When a person does not have knowledge of the actual situation, he should remain silent. He should adopt such an approach as to say, "People say," "It is thought," "Someone has said." One should avoid such baseless talk.
