أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ هُوَ ابْنُ مِغْوَلٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي الشَّعْبِيُّ: "مَا حَدَّثُوكَ هَؤُلَاءِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخُذْ بِهِ، وَمَا قَالُوهُ بِرَأْيِهِمْ، فَأَلْقِهِ فِي الْحُشِّ".
It is narrated from Malik bin Mughul that Imam Sha’bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said to me: Whatever these people narrate to you from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), accept it, and whatever they narrate from their own opinion, throw it on the dung heap.
