حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ النَّخَعِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ کَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنْ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ کُنَّا نَلْقَی النَّفَرَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَيَقْطَعُونَ حَدِيثَهُمْ فَذَکَرْنَا ذَلِکَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَإِذَا رَأَوْا الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي قَطَعُوا حَدِيثَهُمْ وَاللَّهِ لَا يَدْخُلُ قَلْبَ رَجُلٍ الْإِيمَانُ حَتَّی يُحِبَّهُمْ لِلَّهِ وَلِقَرَابَتِهِمْ مِنِّي
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 140
It was narrated that ‘Abbâs bin ‘Abdul- Muttalib said: “We used to come across groups of Quraish who would be talking, but they would stop talking (when we approached). We mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah and he said: ‘What is the matter with people who taik, then when they see a man from my family they stop talking? By Allah, faith will not enter a person’s heart until he loves them for the sake of Allah and because of their closeness to me.’” (Da’if)
