حَدَّثَنَا مِقْدَامٌ: ثَنَا أَسَدٌ: ثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: " قَالَ اللهُ:
خَلَقْتُ خَلْقًا أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ أَمَرُّ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ، حَتَّى حَلَفْتُ لَأُتِيحَنَّهُمْ فِتْنَةً تَدَعُ الْحَلِيمَ فِيهِمْ حَيْرَانَ، فَبِي يَغْتَرُّونَ، وَعَلَيَّ يَجْتَرِئُونَ
