أحمد:٩١٥٦حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْجَوَّابِ الضَّبِّيُّ الْأَحْوَصُ بْنُ جَوَّابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ زُرَيْقٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُحَدِّثُ نَفْسِي بِالْحَدِيثِ لَأَنْ أَخِرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ قَالَ ذَلِكَ صَرِيحُ الْإِيمَانِ

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I want to tell myself something, for delaying anything from heaven is dearer to me than speaking it out."
