حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ قُرَّةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ؓ قَالَ
أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعِي رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الأَشْعَرِيِّينَ فَقُلْتُ مَا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُمَا يَطْلُبَانِ الْعَمَلَ فَقَالَ لَنْ أَوْ لاَ نَسْتَعْمِلُ عَلَى عَمَلِنَا مَنْ أَرَادَهُ
