أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ يَمْشِي وَنَاسٌ يَطَئُونَ عَقِبَهُ، فَقَالَ :" لَا تَطَئُوا عَقِبِي، فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أُغْلِقُ عَلَيْهِ بَابِي، مَا تَبِعَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ "

Yazid bin Harun told us, Ibn Aoun told us, on the authority of Al-Hasan, that Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him, was walking and people were stepping on his heels. He said: “Do not step on my heels. By God, if you knew what my door was closed on, none of you would have followed me.”
