أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ فِي آخَرِينَ قَالُوا: حدثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أخبرنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ، حدثنا أَبِي، حدثنا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ بِلَالَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ
يَقُولُ: " عِبَادَ الرَّحْمَنِ، لَوْ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمُ الْمَاضِيَةُ لَكَانَ فِيمَا تَسْتَقْبِلُونَ لَكُمْ شُغُلًا، وَلَوْ عَمِلْتُمْ بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ لَكُنْتُمْ عِبَادَ اللهِ حَقًّا "
