Hadith 6261
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: In the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in the time of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), in the time of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and in the time of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), storytelling did not take place. Storytelling began in the times of tribulations.
