أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ السَّبَّاكُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِثَلَاثٍ «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ لَا يَمُوتَ إِلَّا وَظَنُّهُ بِاللَّهِ حَسَنٌ فَلْيَفْعَلْ»
