حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: نَا أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ بْنُ السَّرْحِ قَالَ: نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ قَالَ: نَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي أَحَدَكُمْ فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: اللهُ. فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: اللهُ. فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ خَلَقَ اللهَ ؟ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ أَحَدُكُمْ، فَلْيَقُلْ: آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ
