(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، عَنْ
ابْنِ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ
عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ
حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ
ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : كُنْتُ لَا أُحْجَبُ عَنِ النَّجْوَى ، وَلَا عَنْ كَذَا ، وَلَا عَنْ كَذَا ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ : فَنَسِيَ وَاحِدَةً ، وَنَسِيتُ أَنَا وَاحِدَةً ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَعِنْدَهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ مُرَارَةَ الرَّهَاوِيُّ ، فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ آخِرِ حَدِيثِهِ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَدْ قُسِمَ لِي مِنَ الْجِمَالِ مَا تَرَى ، فَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ فَضَلَنِي بِشِرَاكَيْنِ فَمَا فَوْقَهَما ، أَفَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْبَغْيُ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا ، لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِالْبَغْيِ ، وَلَكِنَّ الْبَغْيَ مَنْ بَطِرَ قَالَ : أَوْ قَالَ : سَفِهَ الْحَقَّ ، وَغَمَطَ النَّاسَ " .
Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I did not feel any barrier regarding whispering, nor regarding such and such thing. The narrator says that my teacher forgot one thing and I forgot another. Once I came to my teacher and Malik bin Murarah Rahawi was also present there. I found him narrating at the end of the hadith: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You can see how many camels have come into my share. I do not want anyone to surpass me by even two or four straps in this number. Is this arrogance? He said: “This is not arrogance. Arrogance is that a person rejects the truth and looks down upon people.”
