أبو داود:٤٩٠٣ – حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ يَعْنِي عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي أَسِيدٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْحَسَدَ فَإِنَّ الْحَسَدَ يَأْكُلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ النَّارُ الْحَطَبَ أَوْ قَالَ الْعُشْبَ
