حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، ثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي سَوْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا قَالَ فِيهِ:
مَوْتُ الْعَالِمِ مُصِيبَةٌ لَا تُجْبَرُ، وَثُلْمَةٌ لَا تُسَدُّ، وَهُوَ نَجْمٌ طُمِسَ، مَوْتُ قَبِيلَةٍ أَيْسَرُ مِنْ مَوْتِ عَالِمٍ
