4992. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "It is sufficient sin for a man that he speaks of everything that he hears." (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: Ḥaṣṣ (one of the narrators) did not mention Abū Hurairah. Abū Dāwūd said: It was not narrated with a chain except by this Shaikh, meaning 'Alī bin Ḥaṣṣ Al-Maḍā'īnī.

4992 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: ابْنُ حُسَيْنٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَفْصٌ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَلَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ إِلَّا هَذَا الشَّيْخُ يَعْنِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ حَفْصٍ الْمَدَائِنِيَّ»
