وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّأْسِ مِنَ الْجَسَدِ، يَأْلَمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ لِأَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ، كَمَا يَأْلَمُ الْجَسَدُ لِمَا فِي الرَّأْسِ
