حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمٌ عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ قَالَ کُنْتُ أَسِيرُ بِالشَّامِ فَنَادَانِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِي فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا رَجَائُ بْنُ حَيْوَةَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَوْنٍ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي يَذْکُرُونَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُمْ يَکْذِبُونَ عَلَی الْحَسَنِ کَثِيرًا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4621
Ibn Awn said: I was a prisoner in Syria. A man called me from behind. I turned towards him and suddenly found that it was Raja bin Haiwah. He said: Abu Awn, what is this that the people are telling about al-Hasan? I said: They are much lying to al-Hasan.
