الأدب المفرد:١٢٢٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

قَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ النَّارَ عَدُوٌّ فَاحْذَرُوهَا فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَتْبَعُ نِيرَانَ أَهْلِهِ وَيُطْفِئُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبِيتَ
