حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَی عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ يَعْنِي مَوْلَی مُسَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَتُنْتَقَوُنَّ کَمَا يُنْتَقَی التَّمْرُ مِنْ أَغْفَالِهِ فَلْيَذْهَبَنَّ خِيَارُکُمْ وَلَيَبْقَيَنَّ شِرَارُکُمْ فَمُوتُوا إِنْ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
