Two Deviants at the Gathering
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Imam Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Husayn al-Bayhaqi (r.a.) wrote, “It is said that two deviants came to the gathering of ‘Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak and asked him if they could recite a hadits to him.
ibn al-Mubarak replied, ‘I do not want to hear a hadits from you.’
They asked if they could recite a verse of the Qur’an.
Again, ibn al-Mubarak replied, ‘I do not want to hear a verse from you. Either you both leave, or I will leave.’ So, they left.
The students asked why he did not hear a verse for surely, they cannot fabricate a verse. Imam ibn al-Mubarak replied, ‘What if they incorrectly commented on the verse, and that commentary touched my heart? I would have also become misguided.’”
