قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتِي قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ وَلَوْ اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ يَقُودُكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا.
