الحاكم:٦٩٧٦حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثَنَا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَقْبَلَ غِلْمَانًا مِنْ غِلْمَانِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَإِمَاءً وَعَبِيدًا فَقَالَ «وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكُمْ» هَذَا حَدِيثُ صَحِيحُ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
