البيهقي:١٢٩٣٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ

عَنْ قَوْلِ اللهِ ﷻ {وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا غَنِمْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَأَنَّ لِلَّهِ خُمُسَهُ وَلِلرَّسُولِ} [الأنفال 41] فَقَالَ هَذَا مِفْتَاحُ كَلَامِ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ
