الزهد لأحمد:١٧٧٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْنَا ضَمْرَةُ عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ قَالَ لَمَّا حَضَرَتِ ابْنَ سِيرِينَ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ

لِابْنِهِ أَيْ بُنَيَّ اقْضِ عَنِّي وَلَا تَقْضِ عَنِّي إِلَّا الْوَفَاءَ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ أُعْتِقُ عَنْكَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ لَقَادِرٌ عَلَى أَنْ يُؤْجِرَنِي وَإِيَّاكَ فِيمَا صَنَعْتَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ»
