حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ وَابْنُ عَوْفٍ وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ ثَوْرٍ عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ

إِنَّكَ إِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ عَوْرَاتِ النَّاسِ أَفْسَدْتَهُمْ أَوْ كِدْتَ أَنْ تُفْسِدَهُمْ
