أحمد:٢١٧٣٢حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ شَيْخٍ يُكَنَّى أَبَا عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ تَقُولُ كَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ إِذَا حَدَّثَ حَدِيثًا تَبَسَّمَ فَقُلْتُ لَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ إِنَّكَ أَيْ أَحْمَقُ؟ فَقَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَوْ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثًا إِلَّا تَبَسَّمَ
