2126 – ‘Abdullah related to us; my father related to me; Rawḥ related to us; Sufyan al-Thawri related, from Mansur, from Ibrahim, who said:
“I am asked about a matter of which I have no knowledge, and nothing keeps me from replying, ‘Allah knows best,’ except the fear that people might assume that I do in fact know it.”
٢١٢٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: " إِنِّي لَأَسْأَلُ عَنِ الشَّيْءِ، مَا أَعْلَمُهُ فَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ: اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَرَوْا أَنِّي أَعْلَمُ "
