الطبراني:١٦٣١٤حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عِيسَى التَّنُوخِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ خَبَّابٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

مَرَّ عَلِيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَلْزَمُ غَرِيمًا لِي فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ «يَا كَعْبُ خُذِ الشَّطْرَ وَدَعِ الشَّطْرَ»
