أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ بِالْأُبُلَّةِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«الْإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسَبْعُونَ شُعْبَةً أَعْلَاهَا شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَدْنَاهَا إِمَاطَةُ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ»
