الزهد لأحمد:١٤٧٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَقْوَامًا لَوْ شَاءَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ هَذَا الْمَالَ مِنْ حِلِّهِ أَخَذَهُ

فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَلَا تَأْتُونَ نُصِيبُكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ فَتَأْخُذُونَهُ حَلَالًا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا إِنَّا لَنَخْشَى أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخْذُهُ فَسَادًا لِقُلُوبِنَا
