770 — Abū Bakr ibn Abī Dāwūd narrated to us: Yūnus ibn Habīb al-Asbahānī narrated to us: Abū Dāwūd al-Tayālisī narrated to us: Hammād—namely, Ibn Salamah—informed us, from Ibn Abī Mulaykah, from al-Qāsim, from Aisha—may Allah Most High have mercy on her—who said: The Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—recited this verse:

“It is He who has sent down to you the Book, in which are clear and decisive verses” [Āl Imrān: 7],

through to His words—Glorious and Exalted is He:

“As for those in whose hearts is deviation, they follow what is ambiguous in it” [Āl Imrān: 7].

She said: The Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—said, “Allah—Glorious and Exalted is He—has identified them for you. When you see them, beware of them.” He repeated this three times.
