الطبراني:١٢٧٩٨حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى السَّاجِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الْعُمَيْرِيُّ ثنا مَالِكُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَمْ أَرَ شَيْئًا أَحْسَنَ طَلَبًا وَلَا أَسْرَعَ إِدْرَاكًا مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ حَدِيثَةٍ لِذَنْبٍ قَدِيمٍ» {إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ}
