أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْكَتَّانِيُّ بِالْأُبُلَّةِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«حُوسِبَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ إِلَّا غُصْنُ شَوْكٍ كَانَ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ كَانَ يُؤْذِي النَّاسَ فَعَزَلَهُ فَغُفِرَ لَهُ»
