الطبراني:٩١٥٨ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ثنا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَقُولُ

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

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