حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ
أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الإِسْلاَمِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَىَّ، فَأَنْبِئْنِي مِنْهَا بِشَىْءٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ. قَالَ: «لاَ يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ﷻ».
