Sahih Muslim : 13
Yahyā bin Yahyā narrated to us, Umar bin Alī bin Muqaddam informed us, on authority of Sufyān bin Husayn:
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُقَدَّمٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلَنِي إِيَاسُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أَرَاكَ قَدْ كَلِفْتَ بِعِلْمِ الْقُرْآنِ، فَاقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ سُورَةً، وَفَسِّرْ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ فِيمَا عَلِمْتَ، قَالَ: فَفَعَلْتُ، فَقَالَ لِيَ: احْفَظْ عَلَيَّ مَا أَقُولُ لَكَ: «إِيَّاكَ وَالشَّنَاعَةَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ، فَإِنَّهُ قَلَّمَا حَمَلَهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ذَلَّ فِي نَفْسِهِ، وَكُذِّبَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ»
He said: ‘Iyās bin Mu’āwiyah asked me saying: ‘Indeed I see that you love knowledge of the Qur’ān, so recite for me a Sūrah and explain it until I can reflect on what you know’. [Sufyān] said, so I did that, and [Iyās] said to me: ‘Memorize from me what I am about to say to you- Beware of abominations in Ḥadīth for indeed rarely does anyone convey them except he lowers himself and his Ḥadīth are denied’.’
