أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ مَخْشِيٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْفِرَاسِيِّ أَنَّ الْفِرَاسِيَّ قَالَ
لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَسْأَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَإِنْ كُنْتَ سَائِلًا وَلَا بُدَّ فَاسْأَلِ الصَّالِحِينَ»
