حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِسْمَةً، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَغَيْرُ هَؤُلاءِ أَحَقُّ مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهُمْ خَيَّرُونِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَسْأَلُونِي بِالْفُحْشِ، أَوْ يُبَخِّلُونِي فَلَسْتُ بِبَاخِلٍ " (٢) .،
