حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا صُرَدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَنَازِلِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَبِيبًا الْمَالِکِيَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ يَا أَبَا نُجَيْدٍ إِنَّکُمْ لَتُحَدِّثُونَنَا بِأَحَادِيثَ مَا نَجِدُ لَهَا أَصْلًا فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَغَضِبَ عِمْرَانُ وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ أَوَجَدْتُمْ فِي کُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَمًا دِرْهَمٌ وَمِنْ کُلِّ کَذَا وَکَذَا شَاةً شَاةٌ وَمِنْ کُلِّ کَذَا وَکَذَا بَعِيرًا کَذَا وَکَذَا أَوَجَدْتُمْ هَذَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَعَنْ مَنْ أَخَذْتُمْ هَذَا أَخَذْتُمُوهُ عَنَّا وَأَخَذْنَاهُ عَنْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَذَکَرَ أَشْيَائَ نَحْوَ هَذَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1561
Habib al-Maliki said: A man said to Imran ibn Husayn: Abu Nujayd, you narrate to us traditions whose basis we do not find in the Quran. Thereupon, Imran got angry and said to the man: Do you find in the Quran that one dirham is due on forty dirhams (as Zakat), and one goat is due on such-and-such number of goats, and one camel will be due on such-and-such number of camels? He replied: No. He said: From whom did you take it? You took it from us, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He mentioned many similar things.
