حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو کُرَيْبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي کُرَيْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ قَالَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَی جَبْهَتِهِ فَقَالَ أَلَا إِنَّکُمْ تَحَدَّثُونَ أَنِّي أَکْذِبُ عَلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِتَهْتَدُوا وَأَضِلَّ أَلَا وَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا انْقَطَعَ شِسْعُ أَحَدِکُمْ فَلَا يَمْشِ فِي الْأُخْرَی حَتَّی يُصْلِحَهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5497
Abu Razin reported: Abu Huraira came to us and he struck his forehead with his hand and said: Behold I you talk amongst yourself that I attribute wrongly to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (certain things) in order to guide you to the right path. In such a case, I would myself go astray. Listen. I bear testimony to the fact that I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saying: When the thong of any one of you is broken, he should not walk in the second one until he has got it repaired.
