627 — Hamza related to me: Abdān informed us: Abd Allah informed us: Ismāīl ibn Abī Khālid informed us, from Imrān ibn al-Jad, who said: Ibn Masūd, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
“People have all learned to speak well. Whoever’s words accord with his deeds has attained his rightful share, while whoever’s words conflict with his deeds merely rebukes himself.”
٦٢٧ - حَدَّثَنِي حَمْزَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ الْجَعْدِ قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ﵁: «إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَحْسَنُوا الْقَوْلَ كُلَّهُمْ، فَمَنْ وَافَقَ قَوْلُهُ فِعْلَهُ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي أَصَابَ حَظَّهُ، وَمَنْ خَالَفَ قَوْلُهُ عَمَلَهُ فَإِنَّمَا يُوَبِّخُ نَفْسَهُ»
