Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ وَيُونُسُ قَالَا ثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَنِ السَّرِيِّ بْنِ يَنْعُمَ عَنْ مَرِيحِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا بَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قَالَ إِيَّاكَ وَالتَّنَعُّمَ فَإِنَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ لَيْسُوا بِالْمُتَنَعِّمِينَ.
