حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ
كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِسْلَامِ أَوْثَقُ ؟ قَالُوا: الصَّلَاةُ. قَالَ: حَسَنَةٌ، وَمَا هِيَ بِهَا. قَالُوا: الزَّكَاةُ. قَالَ: حَسَنَةٌ، وَمَا هِيَ بِهَا. قَالُوا: صِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ. قَالَ: حَسَنٌ، وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ. قَالُوا: الْحَجُّ. قَالَ: حَسَنٌ، وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ. قَالُوا: الْجِهَادُ. قَالَ: حَسَنٌ، وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ. قَالَ: إِنَّ أَوْثَقَ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ أَنْ تُحِبَّ فِي اللهِ وَتُبْغِضَ فِي اللهِ
