الزهد لأحمد:٩٧١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ طَلْقٍ قَالَ أَحْسَنُ النَّاسِ صَوْتًا بِالْقُرْآنِ الَّذِي إِذَا قَرَأَ رَأَيْتَ أَنَّهُ يَخْشَى اللَّهَ ﷻ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ وَكَانَ طَلْقٌ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ قَالَ طَلْقٌ إِنِّي لَأَشْتَهِي

أَنْ أَقُومَ حَتَّى يَشْتَكِيَ صُلْبِي وَكَانَ طَلْقٌ يَفْتَحُ الْبَقَرَةَ فَلَا يَرْكَعُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْعَنْكَبُوتَ
