الحاكم:٢١٥٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ أَنْبَأَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيُّ الْكَسْبِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «كَسْبٌ مَبْرُورٌ»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ «وَوَائِلُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ وَابْنُهُ بَكْرٌ ثِقَتَانِ وَقَدْ ذَكَرَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ أَنَّ عَمَّ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ وَإِذَا اخْتَلَفَ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَشَرِيكٌ فَالْحُكْمُ لِلثَّوْرِيِّ» صحيح
