وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ:
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ - قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِيَدِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَكَأَنَّمَا تَقْتَحِمُونَ بِالنَّبْلِ
