Arabic text

٢٨٧٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ ‌الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ أُمَّتِي كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا،» فَجَعَلَتِ الذُّبَابُ وَالْفَرَاشُ يَقَعْنَ فِيهَا وَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَقَحَّمُونَ فِيهَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ.
