أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَکَرِيَّا بْنُ إِسْحَقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمَّهُ تُوُفِّيَتْ أَفَيَنْفَعُهَا إِنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّ لِي مَخْرَفًا فَأُشْهِدُکَ أَنِّي قَدْ تَصَدَّقْتُ بِهِ عَنْهَا
