107 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ شَقِيقَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ يَقُولُ: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا نَنْتَظِرُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَتَانَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّخَعِيُّ فَقَالَ: مَا لَكُمْ؟ قُلْنَا: نَنْتَظِرُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ تَرَوْنَهُ؟ قُلْنَا: فِي الدَّارِ، قَالَ: أَفَلَا أَذْهَبُ فَأُخْرِجَهُ إِلَيْكُمْ؟ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ خَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَتَّي قَامَ عَلَيْنَا وَمَعَهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُخْبَرُ بِمَجْلِسِكُمْ فَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أَخْرُجَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا كَرَاهِيَةُ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «كَانَ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ فِي الْأَيَّامِ كَرَاهَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا»
Shaqiq bin Salamah narrates: We were sitting and waiting for Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), when Yazid bin Mu'awiyah Nakha'i came to us and said: "What is the matter?" We said: "We are waiting for Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)." He asked: "Where do you think he would be?" We said: "He would be at home." He said: "Shall I go and call him for you?" The narrator says: So he went, and after a short while, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) came out and stood by us, and Yazid bin Mu'awiyah was with him. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I was informed that you were sitting here, but I did not come out to you because I feared that I might cause you to become weary. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to preach to us at intervals of days, because he did not like to make us weary."
