981 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to us; Muʿawiyah—meaning ibn Salih—narrated to us, from Sulaym ibn ʿAmir, who said:
Umm al-Dardaʾ sent me to Nawf al-Bikali and to another man who used to deliver preaching sessions in the mosque. She told me, “Say to both of them: Fear Allah, and let the admonition you address to the people be directed first and foremost to your own selves.”
٩٨١ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: أَرْسَلَتْنِي أُمُّ الدَّرْداءِ إِلَى نَوْفٍ الْبِكَالِيِّ وَإِلَى رَجُلٍ آخَرَ كَانَ يَقُصُّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَتْ: قُلْ لَهُمَا: اتَّقِيَا اللَّهَ، وَلْتَكُنْ مَوْعِظَتُكُمَا لِلنَّاسِ لِأَنْفُسِكُمَا "
