وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، ثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« بَعَثَ اللهُ ثَمَانِيَةَ آلَافِ نَبِيٍّ؛ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ، وَأَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ إِلَى سَائِرِ النَّاسِ
