Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2086 — the Prophet ﷺ said to him: O Abdullah bin
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ : نَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَالَ : نَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- قَالَ لَهُ : يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو ، كَيْفَ إِذَا بَقِيتَ فِي حُثَالَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَدْ مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ وَأَمَانَاتُهُمْ ، وَاخْتَلَفُوا فَصَارُوا هَكَذَا I " ، وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ ؟ قَالَ : مَا تَأْمُرُنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : I " عَلَيْكَ بِمَا تَعْرِفُ ، وَتَدَعُ مَا تُنْكِرُ ، وَعَلَيْكَ بِخَاصَّةِ نَفْسِكَ ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَعَوَامَّهُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Abdullah bin Amr! How will you be when you remain among worthless (good-for-nothing) people whose covenants and trusts have become corrupt, and they become entangled (through their mutual disputes) like this?" And he (peace and blessings be upon him) interlaced his fingers to show it. He said: "O Messenger of Allah! What do you command me (at such a time)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Adopt what you recognise (as right), leave what you know (to be objectionable and wrong), concern yourself specifically with reforming your own self, and beware of their common people (and their crowds and trials)."
