الزهد لأحمد:١٩٩٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدُ حَدَّثَنَا رِزَامُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ جَاءَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ خُثَيْمٍ إِلَى مَسْجِدِنَا فَرَبَطَ بَغْلَتَهُ وَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ يُصَلِّي فَانْحَلَّتِ الْبَغْلَةُ فَذُهِبَ بِهَا فَخَرَجَ فَسَأَلَنَا فَقُلْنَا مَا نَدْرِي فَقُلْنَا لَهُ أَمَا تَدْعُو عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ

«ذَرُوهُ لَعَلَّهُ يَتُوبُ فَيَتُوبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَيَسْتَقْبِلُ الْعَمَلَ»
