الطبراني:٩٩٤٣ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ فِرَاسٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

قُرِئَتْ عِنْدَهُ أَوْ قَرَأَهَا {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا} فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا قَالُوا يَا أَبَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا} فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَهَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْأُمَّةُ؟ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ الْخَيْرَ وَالْقَانِتُ الَّذِي يُطِيعُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
