وَعَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ السَّكُونِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَرْزُبَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: لَنْ يَبْرَحَ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَ عَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ، حَتَّى يَقُولُوا: اللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَمَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ.
