أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ النَّحْوِيُّ، حدثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، حدثنا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، حدثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ
قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيَّانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلَانِهِ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ، وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ ". وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَيَّ، فَمُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ قَالَ: " لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا بِذِكْرِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ "
