الترمذي:٢٤٨٢ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا زَافِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّفَقَةُ كُلُّهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الْبِنَاءَ فَلاَ خَيْرَ فِيهِ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ هَكَذَا قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ شَبِيبُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَبِيبُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ
