أحمد:٢٣٦٨٧حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ الصُّنَابِحِيِّ

عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْغُلُوطَاتِ قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِّيُّ الْغُلُوطَاتِ شِدَادُ الْمَسَائِلِ وَصِعَابُهَا

الطبراني:١٧٠٠٣حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاهَوَيْهِ ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ الصُّنَابِحِيّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «نَهَى عَنْ الْغُلُوطَاتِ» قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ وَثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ «وَالْغُلُوطَاتُ صُعَابِ الْمَسَائِلِ وَشِدَادُهَا»
