"عَنْ زُهْرَةَ بنِ خَمِيصَةَ قَالَ: رَدِفْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَكُنَّا نَمُرُّ بِالْقَوْمِ فَنُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَرُدُّونَ عَلَينَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا نُسَلِّمُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَا زَالَ النَّاسُ غَالِبينَ لَنا مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ، وَفِى لَفظٍ: لَقَدْ فَضَلَنَا (*) النَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ بِخَيْرٍ كَثِيرٍ".
