وَعَن أبي مسعودٍ الأنصاريِّ قَالَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَوْ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لِأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ: مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي (زَعَمُوا) قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «بِئْسَ مَطِيَّةُ الرَّجُلِ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حُذَيْفَة
It is narrated from Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), that either he said to Abu Abdullah or Abu Abdullah said to Abu Mas’ud: What have you heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say about the word “za’amu” (they claim)? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “It is bad for a man to speak in such a manner.” Abu Dawood, and he said: By Abu Abdullah is meant Hudhaifah. Sahih, narrated by Abu Dawood.
