أحمد:٧٧٥٥ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَارَةَ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْقَرَّاظَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَهْلَهَا بِسُوءٍ يَعْنِي الْمَدِينَةَ أَذَابَهُ اللهُ كَمَا يَذُوبُ الْمِلْحُ فِي الْمَاءِ
