982 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Ḥajjāj ibn Muḥammad narrated to me. He said: I heard Jarīr ibn Ḥāzim, from Wahb al-Makkī, report that a young man once put many questions to Umm al-Dardāʾ. When his inquiries became excessive, Umm al-Dardāʾ said to him, “Do you actually practice everything you ask about?” He replied, “No.” She said, “Then why are you merely increasing the evidence that Allah will hold against you?”
