حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا عَبَّادٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:
مَا اكْتَسَبَ رَجُلٌ شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ عَقْلٍ يَهْدِي صَاحِبَهُ إِلَى هُدًى ; وَيَرُدُّهُ عَنْ رَدًى، وَمَا تَمَّ إِيمَانُ عَبْدٍ، وَلَا اسْتَقَامَ دِينُهُ، حَتَّى يَكْمُلَ عَقْلُهُ
