حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَشْوَعَ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنِي كَاتِبُ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ ، قَالَ : كَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ ، اكْتُبْ إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَرِهَ لَكُمْ ثَلَاثًا قِيلَ ، وَقَالَ ، وَإِضَاعَةَ الْمَالِ ، وَكَثْرَةَ السُّؤَالِ " .
Sha'bi reported that the scribe of al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: Mu'awiyah wrote to Mughira: Write for me something which you heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ); and he wrote: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying. Verily Allah disapproves three things for you: irrelevant talk, wasting of wealth and persistent questioning.
