الكبرى للنسائي:٨٨٢٢ – أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَرْمَلَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ أُمَّتِي شَيْئًا فَرَفَقَ بِهِمْ فَارْفُقْ بِهِ»
