Hadith 22:192

Ali ibn Mushir narrated to us, from al-Hasan ibn Amr, from al-Sha’bi, who said: I reached the companions of Abdullah and the companions of Ali, and there was nothing of knowledge they disliked more than the interpretation of the Quran. He said: And Abu Bakr used to say, "Which sky would shade me and which earth would carry me if I were to say about the Book of Allah that which I do not know?"

حدثنا علي بن مسهر عن الحسن بن عمرو عن الشعبي قال أدركت أصحاب عبد الله وأصحاب علي وليس هم لشيء من العلم أكره منهم لتفسير القرآن قال وكان أبو بكر يقول أي سماء تظلني وأي أرض تقلني إذا قلت في كتاب الله ما لا أعلم
