الزهد لأحمد:٢٠٥٠حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُرِّ عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ قَالَ أَرَدْتُ الْجُمُعَةَ زَمَنَ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ فَتَهَيَّأْتُ لِلذَّهَابِ قَالَ

ثُمَّ قُلْتُ أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ أُصَلِّي خَلْفَ هَذَا؟ فَقُلْتُ مَرَّةً أَذْهَبُ وَقُلْتُ مَرَّةً لَا أَذْهَبُ قَالَ فَأُجْمِعَ رَأْيِي عَلَى الذِّهَابِ قَالَ فَنَادَانِي مُنَادٍ مِنْ جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ} [الجمعة 9] قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ قَالَ وَجَلَسْتُ مَرَّةً أَكْتُبُ كِتَابًا قَالَ فَعَرَضَ لِي شَيْءٌ إِنْ أَنَا كَتَبْتُهُ زُيِّنَ كِتَابِي كُنْتُ قَدْ كَذَبْتُ وَإِنْ أَنَا تَرَكْتُهُ كَانَ فِي كِتَابِي بَعْضُ الْقُبْحِ وَكُنْتُ قَدْ صَدَقْتُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَرَّةً أَكْتُبُهُ وَمَرَّةً لَا أَكْتُبُهُ قَالَ [285] فَأُجْمِعَ رَأْيِي عَلَى تَرْكِهِ فَتَرَكْتُهُ قَالَ فَنَادَانِي مِنْ جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ {يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ} [إبراهيم 27]
