حَدَّثَنَا الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، أَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ الشَّهِيدِ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:

« أَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْيَسُ ؟ » قَالُوا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: « أَكْيَسُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْمَوْتِ ذِكْرًا، وَأَحْسَنُهُمْ لَهُ اسْتِعْدَادًا
