أبو داود:٥١٣٢حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ

عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ اشْفَعُوا تُؤْجَرُوا فَإِنِّي لأُرِيدُ الأَمْرَ فَأُؤَخِّرُهُ كَيْمَا تَشْفَعُوا فَتُؤْجَرُوا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ اشْفَعُوا تُؤْجَرُوا
