من قال: لا يحدث بالحديث إلا من يريده
Those who said: A hadith is told only to one who seeks it
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27286 — Those who said: A hadith is told only
٢٧٢٨٦ - حدثنا الثقفي عن أيوب عن أبي قلابة قال: (لا) (١) تحدث بالحديث إلا من يعرفه، فإن من لا يعرفه يضره ولا ينفعه.
Ayyub said that Abu Qilabah said: Do not narrate a hadith except to one who recognises its rank, for it will harm one who does not recognise its rank and will not benefit him.
