وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ وَالْحَارِثُ جَمِيعًا: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُحْمَدَ، وَكَأَنَّهُ يَخَافُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « فَمَا يَسَعُكَ أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا، وَتَمُوتَ فَقِيدًا، وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ عَلَى تَمَامِ مَحَاسِنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ
