حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ وَيَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدَةَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُحَرِّمْ حُرْمَةً إِلَّا وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ سَيَطَّلِعُهَا مِنْكُمْ مُطَّلِعٌ أَلَا وَإِنِّي مُمْسِكٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ أَنْ تَهَافَتُوا فِي النَّارِ ك
َتَهَافُتِ الْفَرَاشِ وَالذُّبَابِ قَالَ يَزِيدُ الْفَرَاشِ أَوْ الذُّبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدَةَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ الْفَرَاشِ وَالذُّبَابِ

It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu Kamil and Yazid, from al-Mas'udi, from al-Hasan ibn Sa'd, from 'Abda al-Nahdi — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed Allah has not forbidden anything except that He knew someone among you would transgress it. Indeed I am holding you by your waist-bands lest you tumble into the Fire like moths and flies.' Yazid [in his narration] says: 'moths — or flies.' — [A second chain] via Rawh, from al-Mas'udi, from Abu al-Mughira, from al-Hasan ibn Sa'd, from 'Abda al-Nahdi, from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud — the same account — and he said: 'moths and flies.'
