حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ
حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هَانِئٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ رَبَاحٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ لِلنَّاسِ مَا أَبْعَدَ هَدْيَكُمْ مِنْ هَدْيِ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَّا هُوَ فَأَزْهَدُ النَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَأَرْغَبُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا
