أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أَنَا أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ النَّضْرَوِيُّ، أَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، نَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ عَبِيدَةَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ: وَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ قَالَ: فَأَوْمَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَقَالَ: فِي الْحُبِّ وَالْمُجَامَعَةِ
