حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ حَدَّثَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ أَنَّ آخِرَ مَا قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَمَمْتَ قَوْمًا فَأَخِفَّ بِهِمْ
