حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ بِلاَلِ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ
كَانَ حُذَيْفَةُ إِذَا مَاتَ لَهُ الْمَيِّتُ قَالَ لاَ تُؤْذِنُوا بِهِ أَحَدًا إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَعْيًا إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأُذُنَىَّ هَاتَيْنِ يَنْهَى عَنِ النَّعْىِ
