حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّ مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلاَمِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكَهُ مَا لاَ يَعْنِيهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَكَذَا رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ مُرْسَلاً وَهَذَا عِنْدَنَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏.‏ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ‏.‏

Qutaybah narrated to us: Mālik ibn Anas narrated to us, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿAlī ibn Ḥusayn, who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Part of a person's excellent Islam is leaving alone what does not concern him.' Abū ʿĪsā said: More than one of al-Zuhrī's companions transmitted a similar report from al-Zuhrī, from ʿAlī ibn Ḥusayn, from the Prophet, as a mursal report. In our view, this is more sound than the report from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah. ʿAlī ibn Ḥusayn did not meet ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib.
