الزهد لأحمد:١٢٤١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْجَرِيرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِعَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ قَيْسٍ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَتَسْأَلُ مَنْ قَدْ عَجَزَ

عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَلَكِنْ أَطِعِ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ ادْعُهُ يَسْتَجِبْ لَكَ
