حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ أَبُو عُمَرَ الضَّرِيرُ قَالَ: نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: نَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ الْمَسَائِلُ كَدٌّ يَكُدُّ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَبْقَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ لَا يَجِدُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا.
