أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا
أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ
ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَذْكُرُ، قَالَ: كَانَ
الشَّعْبِيُّ إِذَا جَاءَهُ شَيْءٌ اتَّقَى، وَكَانَ
إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَقُولُ، وَيَقُولُ، وَيَقُولُ، قَالَ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ:
"كَانَ الشَّعْبِيُّ فِي هَذَا أَحْسَنَ حَالًا عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ".
Abu Asim heard Abdullah bin Aun say that when Sha’bi was asked about an issue, he would avoid answering, while Ibrahim (al-Nakha’i) would give a fatwa. Abu Asim said: In this regard, according to Ibn Aun, Sha’bi was better than Ibrahim (because of his caution).
