وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْمَدَنِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي الْمُطَّلِبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَنْطَبٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ؓ قَالَ:

لَقِيتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ؓ فَقَالَ: أَلَا آمُرُكَ بِمَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؛ أَنْ أُكْثِرَ مِنْ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ، فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ
