"عَنِ الحَارِثِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْكِنْدِىِّ قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ عَلَى عُمَرَ مِنَ الشَّامِ فَسَأَلَنِى عَنِ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: لَعَلَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمِ يَدْخُلُ المَسْجِدَ كَالْبَعيرِ النَّافِرِ فَإِنْ رَأَى مَجْلِسَ قَوْمِهِ ورَأَى مَنْ يَعرفُهم جَلَسَ إلَيْهمْ؟ وَإَلَّا خَرَجَ، قُلْتُ: لَا، وَلِكنَّهَا مَجَالِسُ شَتَّى يَجْلِسُونَ فَيَتعلَّمُونَ الْخَيْرَ وَيَذْكُرونَهُ، فَقَالَ: لَنْ تَزالُوا بِخَيرٍ مَا كُنْتُم كَذَلِكَ".
