حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَشْهَبِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ

أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زِيَادٍ عَادَ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَعْقِلٌ: إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ اسْتَرْعَاهُ اللَّهُ رَعِيَّةً فَلَمْ يَحُطْهَا بِنَصِيحَةٍ إِلاَّ لَمْ يَجِدْ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ۔»
