Sahih Muslim Book - 50, Hadith - 7127

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ بَابِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ نَنْتَظِرُهُ فَمَرَّ بِنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّخَعِىُّ فَقُلْنَا أَعْلِمْهُ بِمَكَانِنَا . فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّى أُخْبَرُ بِمَكَانِكُمْ فَمَا يَمْنَعُنِى أَنْ أَخْرُجَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِلاَّ كَرَاهِيَةُ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- كَانَ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ فِى الأَيَّامِ مَخَافَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا.

It was narrated that Shaqiq said: "We were sitting at 'Abdullah's door, waiting for him, when Yazid bin Mu'awiyah An-Nakha'i passed by us. We said: 'Tell him that we are here.' He entered upon him, and soon 'Abdullah came out to us, and he said: 'I was told that you are here, but nothing prevented me from coming out to you except the fact that I did not want to burden you. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) used to choose the right to time address us, for fear of burdening us."'
