حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ - حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ (٢)، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَقَدْ وَقَعَ بِهَا مَرَضٌ، فَهُمْ يَمُوتُونَ مَوْتًا ذَرِيعًا، فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ جَنَازَةٌ فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا خَيْرٌ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَجَبَتْ. ثُمَّ مُرَّ بِأُخْرَى، فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا خَيْرٌ، فَقَالَ (٣) : وَجَبَتْ. ثُمَّ مُرَّ بِالثَّالِثَةِ، فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا شَرٌّ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَجَبَتْ. فَقُلْتُ: وَمَا وَجَبَتْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (٤) صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَيُّمَا مُسْلِمٍ شَهِدَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةٌ بِخَيْرٍ، أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ " قَالَ: قُلْنَا: أَوْ ثَلاثَةٌ؟ قَالَ: " أَوْ ثَلاثَةٌ " فَقُلْنَا: أَوِ اثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ: " أَوِ اثْنَانِ "، ثُمَّ لَمْ نَسْأَلْهُ عَنِ الْوَاحِدِ (٥) .، ،
