وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أنا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ رِيَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " مِسْكِينٌ مِسْكِينٌ رَجُلٌ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ " قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَنِيًّا ذَا مَالٍ؟ قَالَ: " وَإِنْ كَانَ غَنِيًّا مِنَ الْمَالِ " قَالَ: " وَمِسْكِينَةٌ مِسْكِينَةٌ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَ لَهَا زَوْجٌ " قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ غَنِيَّةً أَوْ مُكْثِرَةً مِنَ الْمَالِ؟ قَالَ: " وَإِنْ كَانَتْ " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: " أَبُو نَجِيحٍ اسْمُهُ يَسَارٌ، وَهُوَ وَالِدُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، وَهُوَ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ، وَالْحَدِيثُ مُرْسَلٌ "
