قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ، فَقِيلَ: مَا أَعْجَزَهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: « اغْتَبْتُمْ أَخَاكُمْ »، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قُلْنَا مَا فِيهِ، قَالَ ﷺ: « إِنْ قُلْتُمْ مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ، فَقَدْ بَهَتُّمُوهُ
