الكبرى للنسائي:٧٥٥٧أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا الْأَحْوَصِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

أَتَى قَوْمٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَأْمِرُونَهُ أَنْ يَكْوُوا صَاحِبَهُمْ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ كَلَّمُوهُ فَسَكَتَ فَقَالَ أَرْضِفُوهُ أَحْرَقُوهُ وَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ
