حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ أَبُو قَطَنٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ خِلاَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ

لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُقَدَّمِ لَكَانَتْ قُرْعَةً
