حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَوَّامِ الْجَزَّارِ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ فَقَالَ مِثْلَهُ فَقَالَ
أَكْثَرُ جُنْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ اسْمُهُ فَائِدٌ يَعْنِي أَبَا الْعَوَّامِ
