حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَبَايَةَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغَفَّلِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ وَقَلَّمَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ حَدَثًا مِنْهُ فَسَمِعَنِي وَأَنَا أَقْرَأُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ إِيَّاکَ وَالْحَدَثَ فَإِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَ أَبِي بَکْرٍ وَمَعَ عُمَرَ وَمَعَ عُثْمَانَ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُهُ فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ فَقُلْ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 815
Ibn' Abdullah bin Mughaffal narrated from his father and he said: "I have rarely seen a man for whom innovation in Islam was harder to bear than him. He heard me reciting: 'In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' Bismillahir- Rahmanir-Rahim and he said: '0 my son, beware of innovation, for I prayed with the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H and with Abu Bakr, and with 'Umar, and with 'Uthman, and I never heard any of them saying this. When you (begin to) recite, say: 'All the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of all that, exists.' IAI-hamdu uus«Rnbbil-'Alamin).' (Da'if)
