"عَنْ سَعْدٍ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا وَعِنْدَهُ نَفَرٌ إِذْ ذَكَرُوا عَلِيّا فَنَالُوا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ: مَهْلًا عَنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّا أَذْنَبْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَنْبًا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ: {لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ سَبَقَ} (*) ... الآيةُ، فَكُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّهَا رَحْمَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ سَبَقَتْ لَنَا".
