قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ، ثَنَا سَالِمٌ أَبُو غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ ؓ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا مَا لَمْ يُغَيِّرْهَا
