وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ هُوَ ابْنُ هَارُونَ، ثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ، ﷺ قَالَ:

مَا عُبِدَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِشَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ فِقْهٍ فِي دِينٍ، وَلَفَقِيهٌ وَاحِدٌ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الشَّيْطَانِ مِنْ أَلْفِ عَابِدٍ
