أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَحُذَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا جَالِسَيْنِ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُمَا عَنْ شَيْءٍ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ لِحُذَيْفَةَ :" لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَرَى يَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ هَذَا؟، قَالَ : يَعْلَمُونَهُ ثُمَّ يَتْرُكُونَهُ، فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، فَقَالَ : مَا سَأَلْتُمُونَا عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى نَعْلَمُهُ، أَخْبَرْنَاكُمْ بِهِ، أَوْ سُنَّةٍ مِنْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرْنَاكُمْ بِهِ، وَلَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِمَا أَحْدَثْتُمْ "

Amr bin Aoun informed us, on the authority of Khalid bin Abdullah, on the authority of Ata’, on the authority of Amer, on the authority of Ibn Masoud, and Hudhayfah, may God be pleased with him. About them, they were sitting and a man came and asked them about something. Ibn Masoud said to Hudhayfah: “For what do you think they are asking me about?” This? He said: They teach it and then leave it. Then Ibn Masoud came to him and said: You have not asked us about anything from the Book of God Almighty that we know. We told you about it, or a Sunnah from the Prophet of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, we told you about it, and we have no power over what you have narrated.”
