وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ السَّمَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ مَوْلَى أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ جَنَاحٍ مَوْلَى الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ، قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:

« خَيْرُ الشَّبَابِ مَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِكُهُولِكُمْ، وَشَرُّ كُهُولِكُمْ مَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِشَبَابِكُمْ
