حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ الضَّحَّاکِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ صَرْفَ الْکَلَامِ لِيَسْبِيَ بِهِ قُلُوبَ الرِّجَالِ أَوْ النَّاسِ لَمْ يَقْبَلْ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَرْفًا وَلَا عَدْلًا
