( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَدِيبُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو يَحْيَى الرُّويَانِيُّ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ - هُوَ ابْنُ مُوسَى الْفَرَّاءُ - أَنْبَأَ عِيسَى - هُوَ ابْنُ يُونُسَ - ثَنَا ثَوْرٌ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ مِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِ يَكْرِبَ؛ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
مَا أَكَلَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ طَعَامًا خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ، إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ كَسْبِ يَدَيْهِ
