الزهد لأحمد:٤٢٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أبِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ

قَالَ دَاوُدُ النَّبِيُّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَسْعَى لَكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِالنَّصِيحَةِ؟ قَالَ تُكْثِرُ ذِكْرِي وَتُحِبُّ مَنْ أَحَبَّنِي مِنْ أَبْيَضَ وَأَسْوَدَ وَتَحْكُمُ لِلنَّاسِ كَمَا تَحْكُمُ لِنَفْسِكَ وَتَجْتَنِبُ فِرَاشَ الْغِيبَةِ
