حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ الْبَرِيَّةِ قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ]، كُلَّمَا كَانَتْ هَيْعَةٌ اسْتَوَى عَلَيْهِ، أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِالَّذِي يَلِيهِ قَالُوا: بَلَى قَالَ: رَجُلٌ فِي ثَلَّةٍ مِنْ غَنَمِهِ يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ، أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَرِّ الْبَرِيَّةِ قَالُوا: بَلَى قَالَ: الَّذِي يُسْأَلُ بِاللهِ وَلَا يُعْطِي بِهِ.
