قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَزْرَقُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَكْثُرُونَ وَأَصْحَابِي يَقِلُّونَ، فَلَا تَسُبُّوهُمْ، لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ سَبَّهُمْ
