928 - Abu Bakr al-Marwudhi informed us, saying: Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Azdi, the companion of Ibn Dawud al-Khuraybi, narrated to us, saying: Abu Ya'qub al-Tustari, who was among the best of people, narrated to me, saying: I was with Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Qattan when it was said to him: 'Mu'adh ibn Mu'adh spoke words by which he intended to oppose the Qadariyyah.' So he sent his son, Muhammad, to him, saying: 'You have attained the company of Ibn 'Awn and Yunus; did you hear them speak with such words?' He said: So Mu'adh replied, 'And what does Yahya say so that I may say it?' Thus, Mu'adh retracted and adopted the position of Yahya.
٩٢٨ - وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْمَرُّوذِيُّ، قَالَ: ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأَزْدِيُّ صَاحِبُ ابْنِ دَاوُدَ الْخُرَيْبِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ وَكَانَ مِنْ خِيَارِ النَّاسِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلَامٍ أَرَادَ بِهِ ضِدَّ الْقَدَرِيَّةِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ بِابْنِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ: أَدْرَكْتَ ابْنَ عَوْنٍ وَيُونُسَ، سَمِعْتُهُمْ تَكَلَّمُوا بِمِثْلِ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ: فَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ يَقُولُ يَحْيَى حَتَّى أَقُولَ، فَرَجَعَ مُعَاذٌ، فَصَارَ إِلَى قَوْلِ يَحْيَى
