الطبراني:١٧٣٥٣aحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الدِّمَشْقِيَّانِ قَالَا ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ وَاقِدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ بْنِ حَلْبَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَضَّرَ اللهُ عَبْدًا سَمِعَ كَلَامِي ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزِدْ فِيهِ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى أَوْعَى مِنْهُ»
