حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أُتِيَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقِيلَ هَذَا فُلَانٌ تَقْطُرُ لِحْيَتُهُ خَمْرًا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَدْ نُهِينَا عَنْ التَّجَسُّسِ وَلَکِنْ إِنْ يَظْهَرْ لَنَا شَيْئٌ نَأْخُذْ بِهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4890
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Zayd ibn Wahb said: A man was brought to Ibn Masud. He was told: This is so and so, and wine was dropping from his beard. Abdullah thereupon said: We have been prohibited to seek out (faults). If anything becomes manifest to us, we shall seize it.
