وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ، قَالَ: نَا يُونُسُ، نَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ؓ، قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَتَنَاوَلُ مِنْهَا قِطْفًا أُرِيكُمُوهُ، فَحِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مِثْلُ مَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنَ الْعِنَبِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: كَأَعْظَمِ دَلْوٍ فَرَتْ أُمُّكَ قَطُّ
