الزهد لأحمد:٢٠٠٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا طَلْقُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ حَدَّثَنَا كَامِلُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُنْذِرٍ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ اصْنَعُوا لِي طَعَامًا فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ

أَنْ أَدْعُوَ فُقَرَاءَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي فَصَنَعُوا لَهُ طَعَامًا فَأَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَجَمَعَ فُقَرَاءَ مِنَ الزَّمْنَى فَأَتَى بِهِمْ فَأَطْعَمَهُمْ ذَلِكَ الطَّعَامَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَهْلُهُ هَؤُلَاءِ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَصْحَابِي»
