حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ جَمِيعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُتَحَزِّقِينَ، وَلاَ مُتَمَاوِتِينَ، وَكَانُوا يَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ، وَيَذْكُرُونَ أَمْرَ جَاهِلِيَّتِهِمْ، فَإِذَا أُرِيدَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللهِ، دَارَتْ حَمَالِيقُ عَيْنَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ.


Abu Salama ibn 'Abdu'r-Rahman said, "The Companions of the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, were neither niggardlynor weak (in worship). They used to recite poems to one another in theirgatherings and they mentioned matters of the Jahiliyya. But when one ofthem was asked about something concerning Allah, his eyes went around asif he were mad."
