Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرِيبٍ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ مَسْجِدَ حِمْصَ قَالَ وَإِذَا النَّاسُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ الْجَمَاعَةُ قَالُوا كَعْبٌ يَقُصُّ قَالَ يَا وَيْحَهُ أَلَا سَمِعَ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَقُصُّ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ أَوْ مُخْتَالٌ.
English Translation
Abu Asim told us, saying: Abd al-Hamid informed us, saying: Salih b. Abi Uraib told us, from Kathir b. Murrah, from Awf b. Malik, who said: Awf b. Malik entered the mosque of Hims, and there were people gathered around a man. He said, "What is this gathering?" They said, "Ka'b is preaching." He said, "Woe to him! Has he not heard the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): 'None should preach except a commander, one who is commanded, or one who is conceited'?"
