أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ السَّرِيِّ بْنِ يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ إِمَامٌ لَنَا وَکَانَ مِنْ أَسْنَانِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ إِذَا خَشِيتُمْ مِنْ نَبِيذٍ شِدَّتَهُ فَاکْسِرُوهُ بِالْمَائِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَشْتَدَّ
