مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5022 — Ma'n bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ قَالَ : أَخْرَجَ إِلَيَّ مَعْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كِتَابًا ، وَحَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ خَطُّ أَبِيهِ ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ : وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ ، مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَشَدَّ عَلَى الْمُتَنَطِّعِينَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَلَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بَعْدَهُ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّ عُمَرَ كَانَ أَشَدَّ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ خَوْفًا عَلَيْهِمْ ، أَوْ لَهُمْ .
Mis'ar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that Ma'n bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) brought out a document before me and swore that it was his father's handwriting, and in it was written that Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By the One besides whom there is no god worthy of worship! I have not seen anyone more severe towards those who go to extremes and split hairs than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and after him (peace and blessings be upon him) I have not found anyone more severe towards them than Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and I think that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was the most fearful of all the people of the earth about them (or on account of their trial)."
