السيوطي:٤-٤٣٣b

"عن علِىٍّ قال: دَعَا نَبىٌّ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ فَقيلَ لَهْ أَتحِبُّ أَنْ أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهمْ الْجُوعَ؟ قَالَ: لاَ. قِيلَ لَهُ: أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أُلْقِىَ بَأسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ؟ قَالَ: لاَ. فَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الطَاعُونَ موتا ذفِيفًا يَحْرِقُ الْقُلُوبَ، وَيُقَلِّلُ الْعَدَدَ".  

ابن راهويه
