أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ حَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ
عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَالُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ إِلَّا الشَّهِيدَ؟ قَالَ «كَفَى بِبَارِقَةِ السُّيُوفِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فِتْنَةً»
