الزهد لأحمد:٢٢٣٠حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ بِخَطِّ يَدِهِ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ يَمَانٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ «لَوْ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَنْفَقَ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ»
