الطبراني:٨٥٧٥ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

«لَأَنْ أُمَتَّعَ بِسَوْطٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَحُجَّ حَجَّةً بَعْدَ حَجَّةٍ»

«لَأَنْ أُجَهِّزَ سَوْطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حَجَّةٍ بَعْدَ حَجَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ»
