Sayings
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ لأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، أَوْ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ لأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ: مَا سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي ( زَعَمَ )؟ قَالَ: بِئْسَ مَطِيَّةُ الرَّجُلِ.
Abu Qilaba reported that 'Abdullah said to Abu Mas'ud - or
Abu Mas'ud said to 'Abdullah, "What did you hear the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, say about '(false) assertion?" He said,
"It is a bad mount for a man."
