Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8518 — Beware of saying again and again, 'What
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الصَّائِغُ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، ثنا أَبُو يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: " إِيَّاكُمْ وَأَرَأَيْتَ وَأَرَأَيْتَ، فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِأَرَأَيْتَ وَأَرَأَيْتَ، وَلَا تَقِيسُوا شَيْئًا بِشَيْءٍ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمٌ بَعْدَ ثُبُوتِهَا، وَإِذَا سُئِلَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُ فَلْيَقُلْ: لَا أَعْلَمُ فَإِنَّهُ ثُلُثُ الْعِلْمِ "
Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Beware of saying again and again, 'What if it were so?', for those before you were destroyed only because of their abundance of 'What if it were so?'. And do not draw analogy between one thing and another, lest a foot slip after being firmly planted. And when one of you is asked about something he does not know, let him say: 'I do not know,' for that (saying) is one third of knowledge."
