حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ كَعْبٌ يَقُصُّ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم يَقُولُ: لَا يَقُصُّ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ أَوْ مُخْتَالٌ، قَالَ: فَأَتَى كَعْبٌ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ، هَذَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ يَقُولُ: كَذَا وَكَذَا فَتَرَكَ الْقَصَصَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَمَرَهُ بِالْقَصَصِ فَاسْتَحَلَّ ذَاكَ بِذَاكَ.
A man narrated, he said that Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) used to tell stories. Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Stories may be told by a leader, or by one who is commanded, or by one who is boastful and arrogant." (The narrator) said: May your mother lose you, Abdur Rahman bin Awf is saying such and such. So he abandoned the act of storytelling. Then Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered him to tell stories, so for this reason he considered storytelling to be permissible.
