الزهد لأحمد:٢٢٨٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ [314] زَرْبِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يَقُولُ «مَا زَالَ الْبَلَاءُ بِأَصْحَابِي حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ

أَنْ لَيْسَ لِلَّهِ ﷻ فِيَّ حَاجَةٌ حَتَّى نَزَلَ فِيَّ الْبَلَاءُ»
