( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) ابْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ وَوَاصِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ: عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ:
لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَدَعَ الْأُضْحِيَّةَ وَإِنِّي لَمِنْ أَيْسَرِكُمْ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تَحْسَبَ النَّفْسُ أَنَّهَا عَلَيْهَا حَتْمٌ وَاجِبٌ

I had intended to leave off the sacrifice (uḍḥiyyah), even though I am one of the most well-off among you, for fear that the soul might think it is a binding obligation upon it.
