أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ
، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رُبَيِّعَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ سَلْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ :" لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا بَقِيَ الْأَوَّلُ حَتَّى يَتَعَلَّمَ الْآخِرُ، فَإِذَا هَلَكَ الْأَوَّلُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ الْآخِرُ، هَلَكَ النَّاسُ "
