حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ هُوَ وَذُو الْكَلَاعِ مَسْجِدَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَوْفٌ: عِنْدَكَ ابْنُ عَمِّكَ (١) فَقَالَ ذُو الْكَلَاعِ: أَمَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ أَوْ مِنْ أَصْلَحِ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ عَوْفٌ أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَا يَقُصُّ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ، أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ، أَوْ مُتَكَلِّفٌ " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Once, Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and Dhu’l-Kila’ entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque, that is, Bayt al-Maqdis. Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, “You have your nephew (Ka’b Ahbar) with you.” Dhu’l-Kila’ said, “He is the best man among all people.” Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “I bear witness that I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: Only he may deliver admonition who is a leader, or has been given its command and permission, or else he is being pretentious (showing off).”
