حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَال حَدَّثنا مُجَالِدٌ عَن الشَّعبِيّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِي اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُول اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ كَمَثَلِ الْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ أَسْفَارًا اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ كَمَثَلِ الْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ أَسْفَارًا

Ibrahim ibn Sa'id narrated to us, he said: Abdullah ibn Numayr narrated to us, he said: Mujalid narrated to us, from al-Sha'bi, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be well pleased with them both), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: «The likeness of the one who speaks on Friday while the Imam is delivering the sermon is like a donkey carrying books [of knowledge without benefiting from them].»
