أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ وَهُوَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ لَنَا مَثَلُ السَّوْئِ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ کَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ
