٤٨٩٠. It was narrated that Zaid bin Wahb said: "Someone came to Ibn Mas'ud and said: 'so-and-so has wine dripping from his beard.' Abdullah said: 'We have been forbidden to spy, but if anything becomes apparent to us we will deal with it.'" (Da'if)

Arabic text

4890 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أُتِيَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقِيلَ هَذَا فُلَانٌ تَقْطُرُ لِحْيَتُهُ خَمْرًا، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: «إِنَّا قَدْ نُهِينَا عَنِ التَّجَسُّسِ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ يَظْهَرْ لَنَا شَيْءٌ نَأْخُذْ بِهِ»
