وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا خَلِيفَةُ بْنُ خَيَّاطٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ؓ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
يَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ لَا يُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ، يَتَهَافَتُونَ فِي النَّارِ، يَتْبَعُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا
