وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ:
« دَعَا نَبِيٌّ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجُوعَ قَالَ: لَا. قِيلَ لَهُ: أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أُلْقِيَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: فَسُلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الطَّاعُونُ مَوْتًا دَقِيقًا، يَحْرِقُ الْقُلُوبَ، وَيُقِلُّ الْعَدَدَ
