حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ وَرَّادٍ، كَاتِبِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ: اكْتُبْ إِلَيَّ بِمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم. قَالَ وَرَّادٌ: فَأَمْلَى عَلَيَّ وَكَتَبْتُ بِيَدَيَّ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَنْهَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ السُّؤَالِ، وَإِضَاعَةِ الْمَالِ، وَعَنْ قِيلَ وَقَالَ.

Muhammad ibn Salam narrated to us. He said: Jarir informed us, from Abd al-Malik ibn Umayr, from Warrad, the scribe of al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba. Warrad said: Mu'awiya wrote to al-Mughira, 'Write to me what you heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.' Warrad said: He dictated to me, and I wrote it down in my own hand: 'I heard him forbid asking too many questions, wasting wealth, and engaging in idle talk.'
