أحمد:١١٤٩٨حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ هَيْبَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِحَقٍّ إِذَا رَآهُ أَوْ شَهِدَهُ أَوْ سَمِعَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ سَمِعْتُهُ وقَالَ أَبُو نَضْرَةَ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ سَمِعْتُهُ
