Arabic text

5120 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ الْمُدْلِجِيِّ، قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «خَيْرُكُمُ الْمُدَافِعُ عَنْ عَشِيرَتِهِ، مَا لَمْ يَأْثَمْ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ ضَعِيفٌ
