Original Arabic

عن أبى وائل شقيق بن سلمة قال‏:‏ كان ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه يذكرنا في كل خميس، فقال له رجل‏:‏ يا أبا عبد الرحمن، لوددت أنك ذكرتنا كل يوم، فقال‏:‏ أما إنه يمنعني من ذلك أني أكره أن أملكم وإني أتخولكم بالموعظة، كما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يتخولنا بها مخافة السآمة علينا‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏

Shaqiq bin Salamah reported:

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) used to preach to us once every Thursday. A man said to him: "O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman, we love your talk and we wish that you preach us every day." He said: "There is nothing to prevent me from doing so, but I don't lest I bore you. I follow the same method in preaching to you that Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) adopted in preaching to us for fear of boredom." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
