( وَرَوَاهُ ) أَبُو دَاوُدَ فِي الْمَرَاسِيلِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ قَالَ:
مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: " مَنْ يَعْرِفُهُ ؟ " فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ بِوَجْهِهِ، وَلَا أَعْرِفُهُ بِاسْمِهِ، قَالَ: لَيْسَتْ تِلْكَ بِمَعْرِفَةٍ
