6817 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: اخْتَصَمَ سَعْدٌ وَابْنُ زَمْعَةَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ، الوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ، وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ» زَادَ لَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ: «وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الحَجَرُ»
