Hadith 132
۞
130. From him, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa, who has narrated the following
Abu Abdullah (asws) having said that: ‘A man came to the Prophet (saww) and said to him (saww), ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), advise me’. The Rasool Allah (saww) said to him: ‘So will you follow it if I (saww) give advice to you?’ To the extent that he (saww) said that to him three times, and during each of which the man said to him (saww), Yes, O Rasool Allah (saww)’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said to him: ‘So I (saww) hereby advise you that whenever you feel like doing something, ponder over its consequences, for if there is guidance for you, so do it, and if it is a straying for you, so abstain from it’.
عَنْهُ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْصِنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَهَلْ أَنْتَ مُسْتَوْصٍ إِنْ أَنَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ حَتَّى قَالَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثاً وَ فِي كُلِّهَا يَقُولُ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَإِنِّي أُوصِيكَ إِذَا أَنْتَ هَمَمْتَ بِأَمْرٍ فَتَدَبَّرْ عَاقِبَتَهُ فَإِنْ يَكُ رُشْداً فَامْضِهِ وَ إِنْ يَكُ غَيّاً فَانْتَهِ عَنْهُ.
