Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 25 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Hearing news
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بْنِ نَجْدَةَ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ الطَّبَّاعِ قَالَ : نَا هُشَيْمٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَيْسَ الْخَبَرُ كَالْمُعَايَنَةِ ؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَخْبَرَ مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرَانَ عَمَّا صَنَعَ قَوْمُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ، فَلَمْ يُلْقِ الْأَلْوَاحَ ، فَلَمَّا عَايَنَ ذَلِكَ أَلْقَى الْأَلْوَاحَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hearing news is not like seeing with one's own eyes; for Allah Almighty informed Sayyiduna Musa bin Imran (peace be upon him) of what his people had done after him, yet he did not throw down the tablets (at that time); but when he saw it with his own eyes, he threw down the tablets."
