أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ ثنا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الْحَلَبِيُّ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ
«إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَمَرَ يَحْيَى بْنَ زَكَرِيَّا بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ يَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ فَإِذَا نَصَبْتُمْ وُجُوهَكُمْ فَلَا تَلْتَفِتُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَنْصِبُ وَجْهَهَ لِوَجْهِ عَبْدِهِ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ لَهُ فَلَا يَصْرِفُ عَنْهُ وَجْهَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْعَبْدُ هُوَ الَّذِي يَنْصَرِفُ»

«وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَ الشَّيْخَانِ بِرُوَاةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ آخِرِهِمْ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لِلْحَارِثِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَاوِيًا غَيْرَ مَمْطُورٍ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ فَتَرَكَاهُ وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ عَلَى هَذَا النَّحْوِ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعٍ فَأَغْنَى عَنْ إِعَادَتِهِ وَالْحَدِيثُ عَلَى شَرْطِ الْأَئِمَّةِ صَحِيحٌ مَحْفُوظٌ»
