أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَا: نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ هُوَ الْأَصَمُّ، نا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، نا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْعَطَّارُ، نا عَمَّارُ بْنُ سَيْفٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ،
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " أَوْحَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَنِ اقْلِبْ مَدِينَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا بِأَهْلِهَا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ فِيهِمْ عَبْدَكَ فُلَانًا لَمْ يَعْصِكَ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: اقْلِبْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَإِنَّ وَجْهَهُ لَمْ يَتَمَعَّرْ فِيَّ سَاعَةً قَطُّ "
