وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، [ رَفَعَهُ ] أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ [قَالَ]:
لَا يَسْتَرْعِي اللهُ تَعَالَى عَبْدًا رَعِيَّةً قَلَّتْ أَوْ كَثُرَتْ إِلَّا سَأَلَهُ عَنْهَا أَقَامَتْ فِيهِمْ إِمْرَتُهُ أَوْ ضَاعَتْ، حَتَّى يَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ خَاصَّةً
