وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ وَقَالَ فَجَذَبَهُ الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَا حُمِّلُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ مَا حُمِّلْتُمْ " .
Translation
Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Shababah narrated to us; Shubah narrated to us, from Simak, through this chain, with a report like it. He said: Al-Ashath ibn Qays pulled him aside, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Listen and obey them, for they are responsible for what they have been charged with, and you are responsible for what you have been charged with.”
