Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 11828

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ - فَذَكَرَ الْقَوْمُ رَجُلًا فَذَكَرُوا مِنْ خُلُقِهِ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ قَطَعْتُمْ رَأْسَهُ أَكُنْتُمْ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ تُعِيدُوهُ ؟ قَالُوا : لَا ، قَالَ : فَيَدُهُ ؟ قَالُوا : لَا ، قَالَ : فَرِجْلُهُ ؟ قَالُوا : لَا ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تُغَيِّرُوا خُلُقَهُ حَتَّى تُغَيِّرُوا خَلْقَهُ ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Abdullah bin Rabi'ah narrates: We were with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). The people mentioned a man and mentioned his character. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: What do you think: if you cut off his head, would you be able to put that head back in its place? The people replied: No! Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What if you did that to his hand? They replied: No! Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What if you did that to his foot? They replied: No! Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then neither are you able to change his character until you are able to change his physical form. After this the narrator mentioned the full report.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
