6411. Narrated Shaqiq: While we were waiting for ‘Abdullāh (bin Mas’ūd), Yazid bin Mu’āwiya came. I said (to him), “Will you sit down?” He said, “No, but I will go into the house (of Ibn Mas’ūd) and let your companion (Ibn Mas’ūd) come out to you; and if he should not (come out), I will come out and sit (with you).” Then ‘Abdullāh came out, holding the hand of Yazid, addressed us saying, “I know that you are assembled here, but the reason that prevents me from coming out to you is that Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ used to preach us at intervals during the days, lest we should become bored.”
