2622 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ المُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ لَنَا مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ، الَّذِي يَعُودُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالكَلْبِ يَرْجِعُ فِي قَيْئِهِ»
