قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوَّادٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
خَيْرُكُمْ فِي رَأْسِ الْمِائَتَيْنِ الْخَفِيفُ الْحَاذِ. قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا خِفَّةُ الْحَاذِ ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ لَا أَهْلَ لَهُ وَلَا مَالَ
