حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ، خَطَبَهُمْ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
أَفْضَلُ أَصْحَابِي وَخَيْرُهُمْ أَتْقَاهُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: أَتْقَاهُمْ أَعْقَلُهُمْ، كَذَلِكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
