البيهقي:١٦٥٩٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فُورَكٍ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ؓ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ وَمُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا تَطَاوَعَا وَيَسِّرَا وَلَا تُعَسِّرَا وَبَشِّرَا وَلَا تُنَفِّرَا  

أَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ وَاسْتَشْهَدَ الْبُخَارِيُّ بِرِوَايَةِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ
