الزهد لأحمد:٢٣٠٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو يُوسُفَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ بِمَكَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأُمَوِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ الْأَخْنَسِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنِ اعْتَزَّ بِالْعَبْدِ أَذَلَّهُ اللَّهُ»
