و حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَشْعَثِيُّ جَمِيعًا عَنْ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حُجَيْرٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ قَالَ جَاءَ هَذَا إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ -يَعْنِي بُشَيْرَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ - فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: عُدْ لِحَدِيثِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَعَادَ لَهُ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ: عُدْ لِحَدِيثِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَعَادَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا أَدْرِي أَعَرَفْتَ حَدِيثِي كُلَّهُ وَأَنْكَرْتَ هَذَا ؟ أَمْ أَنْكَرْتَ حَدِيثِي كُلَّهُ وَعَرَفْتَ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّا كُنَّا نُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ لَمْ [يَكُنْ] يُكْذَبُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَكِبَ النَّاسُ الصَّعْبَ وَالذَّلُولَ تَرَكْنَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْهُ.

Narrated by Tawus, "This man (Bushair bin Kab) came to Ibn Abbas and started telling him something. Ibn Abbas said to him, 'Repeat to me the report of so-and-so.' He repeated it to him, and he said to him, 'I do not know (your intension). Do you approve of everything else I say, and have a problem with this one? Or do you have a problem with everything I say and approve only to this one?' Ibn Abbas said to him, 'We used to narrate from the Messenger (s.a.w) where there were no lies that had been fabricated against him, but when the people rode high and low (started adding things), we stopped narrating from him.'"
