Hadith 213

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق الْفَزَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَسْلَمَ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ، عَنْ بِلَادِ بْنِ عِصْمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: وَكَانَ إِذَا كَانَ عَشِيَّةَ الْخَمِيسِ لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ، قَامَ فَقَالَ: "إِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْقَوْلِ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَإِنَّ أَحْسَنَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَالشَّقِيُّ مَنْ شَقِيَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ، وَإِنَّ شَرَّ الرَّوَايَا رَوَايَا الْكَذِبِ، وَشَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا، وَكُلَّ مَا هُوَ آتٍ قَرِيبٌ".
It is narrated from Bilaz bin Asimah that I heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) say: He stood on Thursday evening, that is, the night of Friday, and said: The truest statement is the word of Allah Almighty, and the best path is the path of Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the wretched one is he who is declared wretched while still in his mother’s womb, and the worst thought and opinion (or word and deed) is a false thought and opinion, and the worst deed is to invent a bid’ah (innovation), and everything that is coming is near.
