حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الرُّومِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْخَلِيلَ بْنَ مُرَّةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُبَشِّرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
" فُضِّلَ الْعَالِمِ عَلَى الْعَابِدِ سَبْعِينَ دَرَجَةً، مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ
