حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّی وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ قَالَ لَوْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ کَلِمَةَ الْحَسَنِ تَبْلُغُ مَا بَلَغَتْ لَکَتَبْنَا بِرُجُوعِهِ کِتَابًا وَأَشْهَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ شُهُودًا وَلَکِنَّا قُلْنَا کَلِمَةٌ خَرَجَتْ لَا تُحْمَلُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4624
Ibn Awn said: If we learnt that the remark of al-Hasan would reach the extent that it has reached, we would write a book for his withdrawal and call witnesses to him; but we said: This is a remark that surprisingly came out (from him) and it will not be transmitted to others.
