Hadith 2518

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَاءِ السَّعْدِيِّ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، مَا حَفِظْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : حَفِظْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ ، فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ طُمَأْنِينَةٌ ، وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ رِيبَةٌ " وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ ، قَالَ : وَأَبُو الْحَوْرَاءِ السَّعْدِيُّ اسْمُهُ : رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ ، قَالَ : وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Al-Hasan bin 'Ali said:` "I remember that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Leave what makes you in doubt for what does not make you in doubt. The truth brings tranquility while falsehood sows doubt.'" Another chain reports a similar narration.
حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ .
With this chain also, a similar hadith is narrated from Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with both of them).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The meaning is that one should avoid matters that are doubtful and uncertain,
and act upon that which brings inner contentment,
adopt truthfulness as your principle because it brings inner peace and tranquility,
whereas falsehood leaves the heart restless and disturbed.
