26 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يَقُولُ: «جَالَسْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ سَنَةً، فَمَا سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا»

Commentary
a. 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar also avoided narrating Ahâdith in the name of the Prophet ﷺ, for reasons that made other Companions cautious, namely that they were afraid of attributing to the Prophet ﷺ words that he had not spoken. b. Not that the Companions did not engage in the teachings of Islam but their method was different. They clearly told the people the things that were obligatory, or permissible, or unlawful, as well as the things they would do well to avoid. All these things they told them in the light of the Ahâdîth they had heard from the Prophet ﷺ, but they did not narrate those traditions in his name.
