A‘mash (Sulaiman bin Mehran) narrated that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people! You will invent new things and new things will be invented for you, so when you see any new matter, hold fast to the original way. The narrator Hafs bin Ghiyath said: Previously, I used to narrate this athar from Habib (bin Thabit) from Abu Abdur Rahman al-Sulami, but then I became doubtful about it, (and he narrated this report from A‘mash from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him), in which there is a break in the chain).
