أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ
جَاءَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَا يُعْرِضَانِ بِالْعَمَلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَخْوَنَكُمْ عِنْدِي مَنْ طَلَبَهُ فَمَا اسْتَعَانَ بِهِمَا عَلَى شَيْءٍ»
