أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ الْخَالِقِ الْبَزَّارُ قَالَ نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ قَالَ أَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ أَنَّ الْإِيمَانَ مُعَلَّقٌ بِالثُّرَيَّا لَتَنَاوَلَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ فَارِسَ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَمْرَاءِ مِنْ بَنِي الْمَوَالِي
