203 — Al-ʿAbbās al-ʿAnbarī narrated to me: Muhammad ibn ʿUbayd narrated to us: Muhriz—namely, Abū Rajāʾ al-Shāmī—narrated to us, from ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd Allah, from ʿImrān ibn ʿAbd al-Rahmān, who said: ʿUmar ibn al-Khattāb—may Allah have mercy on him—said, “Devote yourselves to the remembrance of Allah, for it is a cure; and beware of speaking about people, for it is a disease.”
٢٠٣ - حَدَّثَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزٌ وَهُوَ أَبُو رَجَاءٍ الشَّامِيُّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ﵁: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ شِفَاءٌ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَذِكْرَ النَّاسِ فَإِنَّهُ دَاءٌ»
