حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُسْتَمِرِّ الْعُرُوقِيُّ ثنا حَاتِمُ بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ الْحَرَشِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ ثنا أَبُو حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ قَالَ
مَاتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُثْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ وَيَذْكُرُونَ مِنْ عِبَادَتِهِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَاكِتٌ فَلَمَّا سَكَتُوا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلْ كَانَ يُكْثِرُ ذِكْرَ الْمَوْتِ؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «فَهَلْ كَانَ يَدَعُ كَثِيرًا مِمَّا يَشْتَهِي؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «مَا بَلَغَ صَاحِبُكُمْ كَثِيرًا مِمَّا تَذْهَبُونَ إِلَيْهِ»
