مسلم:١٦٠٦ – حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَفْوَانَ الأُمَوِيُّ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ

أَنَّسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْحَلِفُ مَنْفَقَةٌ لِلسِّلْعَةِ مَمْحَقَةٌ لِلرِّبْحِ
