الكبرى للنسائي:٧٧٦٠أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ

أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَصَابَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَعَكٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَجَاءَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي فَأَبَى ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي فَأَبَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا الْمَدِينَةُ كَالْكِيرِ تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا وَيَنْصَعُ طِيبُهَا»
