عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُقَصُّ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ قَصَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ يَقُصَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ قَائِمًا فَأَذِنَ لَهُ عُمَرُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the times of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), stories were not narrated. Sayyiduna Tamim Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) was the first to do this. He first sought permission from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) to stand before the people and narrate stories, so he granted him permission.
