369 — Muhammad ibn Amr al-Bāhilī narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Jafar narrated to us, from Shuba, who said: I heard Khālid narrate from Ghaylān ibn Jarīr, from Mutarrif, who said: “Do not say, ‘Allah says’; rather, say, ‘Allah said.’” He said: “One of them lies twice when he is asked, ‘Who is this?’ He replies, ‘No one—only someone who is nobody.’”
٣٦٩ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ خَالِدًا، عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ قَالَ: " لَا تَقُلْ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ، وَلَكِنْ قُلْ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ ". قَالَ: " وَأَحَدُهُمْ يَكْذِبُ مَرَّتَيْنِ إِذَا سُئِلَ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: لَا شَيْءَ، إِلَّا شَيْءٌ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ "
