الزهد لأحمد:١٩٧٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ سُرِّيَّةِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ قَالَتْ كَانَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ خُثَيْمٍ تُعْجِبُهُ الْحَلْوَى فَيَقُولُ اصْنَعُوا لَنَا طَعَامًا فَنَصْنَعُ لَهُ طَعَامًا كَثِيرًا فَيَدْعُو فَرَّوْخَ وَفُلًانًا فَيُطْعِمُهُمْ بِيَدِهِ وَيَسْقِيهِمْ وَيَشْرَبُ هُوَ فَضْلَ شَرَابِهِمْ

فَيُقَالُ مَا يَدْرِيَانَ هَذَانِ مَا تُطْعِمُهُمَا فَيَقُولُ «لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَدْرِي»
