Abu Qilaba reported: I was sitting behind Umar bin Abdul Aziz and he said to the people: What do you say about al-Qasama? Thereupon Anbasa said: Anas b Malik narrated to us such and such (hadith pertaining to al-Qasama). I said: This is what Anas had narrated to me: People came to Allahs Apostle ﷺ , and the rest of the hadith is the same. When I (Abu Qilaba) finished (the narration of this hadith), Anbasa said: Hallowed be Allah. I said: Do you blame me (for telling a lie)? He (Anbasa) said: No. This is how Anas b Malik narrated to us. O people of Syria, you would not be deprived of good, so long as such (a person) or one like him lives amongst you.
