حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى وَيَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ كُنْتُ أُسَمِّيهِ فَنَسِيتُ اسْمَهُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ كَانَتْ لِي حَاجَةٌ إِلَى أَبِي سَعْدٍ قَالَ و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَيَّانَ عَنْ مُجَمِّعٍ قَالَ كَانَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ إِلَى أَبِيهِ حَاجَةٌ فَقَدَّمَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ حَاجَتِهِ كَلَامًا مِمَّا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسُ يُوصِلُونَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْمَعُهُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ قَدْ فَرَغْتَ مِنْ كَلَامِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا كُنْتَ مِنْ حَاجَتِكَ أَبْعَدَ وَلَا كُنْتُ فِيكَ أَزْهَدَ مِنِّي مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ كَلَامَكَ هَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ سَيَكُونُ قَوْمٌ يَأْكُلُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ الْبَقَرَةُ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1517
It was narrated that 'Umar bin Saad said: I needed something from Abu Saad; and Abu Hayyan told us that Mujammi' said: 'Umar bin Saad needed something from me. So he said something before stating his need to me, that was similar to what people say before stating their needs, but it was something with which he was not familiar. When he finished, he said: O my son, have you finished speaking? He said: Yes. He said: You have never been less likely to get what you need and I have never been less interested in you since I heard these words of yours. I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "There will be people who will earn a living by means of their tongues as cattle eat from the ground."
