حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ: نَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
لَمَّا عُرِجَ بِي، مَرَرْتُ بِقَوْمٍ لَهُمْ أَظْفَارٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ يَخْمُشُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَصُدُورَهُمْ، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ يَا جِبْرِيلُ ؟ قَالَ: هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونُ لَحْمَ النَّاسِ، وَيَقَعُونَ فِي أَعْرَاضِهِمْ
