وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ؓ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
عَيْنَانِ لَا تَمَسُّهُمَا النَّارُ: عَيْنٌ فَاضَتْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللهِ، وَعَيْنٌ بَاتَتْ تَحْرُسُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ
