حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
غَزْوَةٌ فِي الْبَحْرِ مِثْلُ عَشْرِ غَزَوَاتٍ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالَّذِي يَسْدَرُ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَالْمُتَشَحِّطِ فِي دَمِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ
