حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ السَّدُوسِيُّ ثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ قَالَ
جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ أَمْسِكِي سَيْفِي هَذَا فَلَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتُ بِهِ الضَّرْبَ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كُنْتَ أَحْسَنْتَ بِهِ الْقِتَالَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَهُ عَاصِمُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَسَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ الصِّمَّةِ»
