وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ شَهْرٍ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ، ؓ قَالَتْ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
« يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخِيَارِكُمْ ؟ » قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ ﷺ: « خِيَارُكُمْ إِذَا رُؤُوا ذُكِرَ اللهُ، وَارْتَاحَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ، أَوَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشِرَارِكُمْ ؟ » قَالُوا: بَلَى: قَالَ ﷺ: « فَإِنَّ شِرَارَكُمُ الْمَاشُونَ بِالنَّمِيمَةِ، الْمُفْسِدُونَ بَيْنَ الْأَحِبَّةِ، الْبَاغُونَ لِلْبَرَاءِ الْعَنَتَ
