حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَبُو التَّمَّامِ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ قَالَ: نَا مُوسَى بْنُ طَارِقٍ أَبُو قُرَّةَ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي نُجَيْدٍ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
أُمَّتِي كَالْمَطَرِ لَا يُدْرَى أَوَّلُهُ خَيْرٌ أَمْ آخِرُهُ
