وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الرَّجُلُ يَقْتُلُهُ، يَعْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقِبْلَةِ، أَنْ يَكُونَ هَكَذَا، فَوَضَعَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى، فَيَكُونُ كَخَيْرِ ابْنَيْ آدَمَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِذَا بِقَاتِلِهِ فِي النَّارِ
