وَعَن عَوْف بن مَالك الْأَشْجَعِيّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَقُصُّ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ أَو مختال» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَرَوَاهُ الدَّارِمِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَفِي رِوَايَته بدل «أَو مختال»
‘Auf b. Malik al-Ashja‘i Narrated from:
Only a ruler, or one put in charge, or one who is presumptuous gives instruction.* Abu Dawud transmitted it, and Darimi transmitted it from ' Amr b. Shu'aib from his father from his grandfather. A version has, "Or a hypocrite” instead of "one who is presumptuous”. *The word used here is yaqussu, which may be translated as given above, but which may also be translated as “inflicts punishment.”
[1] His Kunya was Abu Abdur Rahman, or Abu Hamad, or Amrah (or Amr). He died in 73AH in Damascus. (Asad ul habah).[2] Abu Dawud # 4665, Musnad Ahmad 2/221.Reference : Mishkat al-Masabih 240, 241In-book reference : Book 2, Hadith 37
