الطبراني:١١٩١٦حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْباعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَاضِعٍ رِجْلَهُ عَلَى صَفْحَةِ شَاةٍ وَهُوَ يَحُدُّ شَفْرَتَهُ وَهِيَ تَلْحَظُ إِلَيْهِ بِبَصرِها قَالَ «أَفَلَا قَبْلَ هَذَا أَوَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُمِيتَهَا مَوْتَتَانِ»
