عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَعِنْدَهُ عَلْقَمَةُ وَالْأَسْوَدُ، فَحَدَّثَ حَدِيثًا لَا أَرَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ إِلَّا مِنْ أَجْلِي كُنْتُ أَحْدَثَ الْقَوْمِ سِنًّا، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَبَابٌ لَا نَجِدُ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ: ((يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ! … )). فَذَكَرَهُ.
Abdur Rahman bin Yazid says: We went to see Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), while Alqamah and Aswad were already sitting with him. He narrated a hadith; I think he narrated this hadith only because of me, as I was the youngest among them. He said: We, the young men, used to stay with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and we had nothing. One day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O group of young men! … Then he mentioned the above hadith.
