حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا بُرَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ تَعَاهَدُوا هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَلُّتًا مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ الْإِبِلِ مِنْ عُقُلِهِ قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ قُلْتُ لِبُرَيْدٍ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثُ الَّتِي حَدَّثْتَنِي عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ هِيَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَكِنْ لَا أَقُولُ لَكَ.
English Translation
Abu Ahmad narrated to us: Burayd b. Abdullah narrated to us: Abu Burda narrated to us, from Abu Musa, who said: "Keep up your covenant with this Qur'an, for by the One in whose hand is my soul, it is more prone to escape than a camel from its tethers." Abu Ahmad said: I said to Burayd: "These hadiths that you have narrated to me from Abu Burda, from Abu Musa, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him" - he said: "They are from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, but I will not tell you which."
