6598 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ: أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَرَارِيِّ المُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ: «اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ»
