أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ هُوَ الْأَصمُّ، نا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ، نا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، نا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَاعِزٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ،
قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ اعْتَصمُ بِهِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، قَالَ: " قُلْ: آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَخْوَفُ مَا تَخَافُ عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ: " هَذَا " وَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِطَرَفِ لِسَانِ نَفْسِهِ.
