حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ ، ثَنَا عَبَّادٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، اعْقِلُوا عَنْ رَبِّكُمْ ، وَتَوَاضَعُوا بِالْعَقْلِ بِمَا أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ ، وَمَا نُهِيتُمْ عَنْهُ ، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ يُحَذِّرُكُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ ، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْعَاقِلَ مَنْ أَطَاعَ اللهَ تَعَالَى ، وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَمِيمَ الْمَنْظَرِ ، حَقِيرَ الْخَطَرِ ، دَنِيءَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ ، رَثَّ الْهَيْئَةِ ، وَإِنَّ الْجَاهِلَ مَنْ عَصَى اللهَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ جَمِيلَ الْمَنْظَرِ ، شَرِيفَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ ، حَسَنَ الْهَيْئَةِ ، فَصِيحًا نَطُوقًا ، وَالْقِرَدَةُ وَالْخَنَازِيرُ أَعْقَلُ عَنِ اللهِ تَعَالَى مِمَّنْ عَصَاهُ ، وَلَا تَفْتَرُوا بِتَعْظِيمِ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا إِيَّاكُمْ ، فَإِنَّكُمْ غَدًا مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people! Use reason and wisdom to gain knowledge of your Lord, and adopt humility, as the intellect requires, in the matters you have been commanded to do or forbidden from. Know that the intellect warns you (against disobedience) before your Lord. And understand well that in reality the intelligent one is he who obeyed Allah Almighty, even if he is ugly in appearance, insignificant in rank, of lowly standing and dishevelled in condition; and indeed the ignorant one is he who disobeyed Allah, even if he is handsome in appearance, of high position, of fine outward condition and extremely eloquent in speech. And remember that even apes and swine have more understanding with regard to knowing Allah Almighty than the one who disobeys Allah. And beware! Do not be deceived by the honour and respect shown to you by the people of this world, otherwise tomorrow, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be among the losers."
The chain of this report is very weak, indeed mawdu' (fabricated); its narrator Dawud bin al-Muhabbar is a kadhdhab (liar), and this text is among the fabricated reports of Kitab al-Aql.
