وَقَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ؓ:
« إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى لَا يُعَذِّبُ الْعَامَّةَ بِعَمَلِ الْخَاصَّةِ، فَإِذَا ظَهَرَتِ الْمَعَاصِي فَلَمْ تُنْكَرْ أُخِذَتِ الْعَامَّةُ وَالْخَاصَّةُ
