حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: خَطَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، خَطًّا بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " هَذَا سَبِيلُ اللهِ مُسْتَقِيمًا "، قَالَ: ثُمَّ خَطَّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَشِمَالِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " هَذِهِ السُّبُلُ، لَيْسَ مِنْهَا سَبِيلٌ إِلَّا عَلَيْهِ شَيْطَانٌ يَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ " ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: (وَأَنَّ هَذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ) [الأنعام:١٥٣] (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) drew a line in front of us and said, "This is the path of Allah." Then he drew some other lines to its right and left and said, "These are different paths, upon each of which there is a devil calling towards it." After that, the Prophet (ﷺ) recited this verse: « ﴿وَأَنَّ هَذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ﴾ » [الأنعام: 153] "This is My straight path, so follow it, and do not follow other paths, for you will be separated from His path."
