وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ قَالَ:
اخْتَصَمَ قَوْمٌ فِي الْقَصَصِ، فَحَسَّنَهُ قَوْمٌ وَكَرِهَهُ قَوْمٌ، فَأَتَوْا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ فَذَكَرُوا لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَسَأَلُوهُ، فَقَالَ: بُعِثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْقِتَالِ وَلَمْ يُبْعَثْ بِالْقَصَصِ
