أحمد:٦٨٥٩حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي يَعْلَى بْنُ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَظُنُّهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

شُعْبَةُ شَكَّ قَامَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَأْذِنُهُ فِي الْجِهَادِ فَقَالَ فَهَلْ لَكَ وَالِدَانِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أُمِّي قَالَ انْطَلِقْ فَبِرَّهَا قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ يَتَخَلَّلُ الرِّكَابَ
