7217 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، سَمِعْتُ القَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: وَارَأْسَاهْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ذَاكِ لَوْ كَانَ وَأَنَا حَيٌّ فَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكِ وَأَدْعُو لَكِ»، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: وَا ثُكْلِيَاهْ، وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّكَ تُحِبُّ مَوْتِي، وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَاكَ، لَظَلَلْتَ آخِرَ يَوْمِكَ مُعَرِّسًا بِبَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِكَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بَلْ أَنَا وَارَأْسَاهْ، لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ - أَوْ أَرَدْتُ - أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَابْنِهِ فَأَعْهَدَ، أَنْ يَقُولَ: القَائِلُونَ أَوْ يَتَمَنَّى المُتَمَنُّونَ ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: يَأْبَى اللَّهُ وَيَدْفَعُ المُؤْمِنُونَ، - أَوْ يَدْفَعُ اللَّهُ وَيَأْبَى المُؤْمِنُونَ - "
