حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَافِظُ ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ إِيَاسٍ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي السَّلِيلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ أَيُّ آيَةٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَعْظَمَ مَعَكَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ {اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255] قَالَ فَضَرَبَ صَدْرِي وَقَالَ «لِيَهْنِكَ الْعِلْمُ أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ»
