Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 555
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ جَمِيعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُتَحَزِّقِينَ، وَلاَ مُتَمَاوِتِينَ، وَكَانُوا يَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ، وَيَذْكُرُونَ أَمْرَ جَاهِلِيَّتِهِمْ، فَإِذَا أُرِيدَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللهِ، دَارَتْ حَمَالِيقُ عَيْنَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ.

Ishaq narrated to us; he said: Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to us; he said: al-Walid ibn Jami‘ narrated to us, from Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman, who said: The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were neither pretentious nor given to affected piety. They would recite poetry to one another in their gatherings and speak of matters from their pre-Islamic days. But when one of them was asked to act on something concerning Allah, his eyes would roll about as if he were mad.
