حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ عِيسَی عَنْ شَرِيکٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْيَقْظَانِ عَنْ زَاذَانَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ قَالَ إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ عَلَيْکُمْ فَعَصَيْتُمُوهُ عُذِّبْتُمْ وَلَکِنْ مَا حَدَّثَکُمْ حُذَيْفَةُ فَصَدِّقُوهُ وَمَا أَقْرَأَکُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَاقْرَئُوهُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ لِإِسْحَقَ بْنِ عِيسَی يَقُولُونَ هَذَا عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ عَنْ زَاذَانَ إِنْ شَائَ اللَّهُ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَهُوَ حَدِيثُ شَرِيکٍ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3812
Narrated Hudhaifah: that they said: O Messenger of Allah, if you were to appoint someone as a successor. He said: If I were to appoint a successor over you, and you were to disobey him, you would be punished. But whatever Hudhaifah narrates to you, then believe him, and whatever 'Abdullah teaches you to recite, then recite it.
