وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ قَالَ : دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا كَعْبٌ يَقُصُّ . قَالَ : مَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا : كَعْبٌ يَقُصُّ . قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " لَا يَقُصُّ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ ، أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ ، أَوْ مُخْتَالٌ " قَالَ : فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ كَعْبًا ، فَمَا رُؤِيَ بَعْدُ يَقُصُّ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ .
Abd al-Jabbar al-Khawlani narrates: One of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque, and Ka'b was there telling stories. That Companion asked: "Who is this?" The people said: "This is Ka'b, telling stories." The Companion said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'No one should tell stories except a ruler, or one appointed (that is, one officially assigned to this task), or an arrogant person.'" This reached Ka'b, and after that he was never seen telling stories.
