(327) بَابُ لا يَقُولُ لِشَيْءٍ لا يَعْلَمُهُ: اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُهُ

(327) Chapter: One should not say about something he does not know, "Allah knows it"
11
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: قَالَ عَمْرٌو: عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: لاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ لِشَيْءٍ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُ: اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُهُ ؛ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ، فَيُعَلِّمَ اللَّهَ مَا لاَ يَعْلَمُ، فَذَاكَ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَظِيمٌ.


Ibn 'Abbas said, "None of you should say about a thing which hedoes not know, 'Allah knows it' when Allah may know that it is other thanwhat he said and thus he (tries to) teach Allah what he does not know.That is something terrible in Allah's sight."
