Hadith 17:888
Mu'awiyah ibn Hisham narrated to us, he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ubaydullah, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar, he said: Storytelling did not exist during the time of Abu Bakr nor Umar. Storytelling only existed during the time of the tribulation (fitna).
حدثنا معاوية بن هشام قال حدثنا سفيان عن عبيد الله عن نافع عن بن عمر قال لم يقص زمان أبي بكر ولا عمر إنما كان القصص زمن الفتنة
