حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ صَدَقَةَ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أُرَاهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ - شَكَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ - قَالَ:
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْأَعْوَادِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: مَا قَلَّ وَكَفَى خَيْرٌ مِمَّا كَثُرَ وَأَلْهَى
