وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ نَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ لِنَفْسِهِ فَيُحِبُّهُ النَّاسُ قَالَ تِلْكَ عَاجِلُ بُشْرَى الْمُؤْمِنِ وَهَذَا الْكَلَامُ لَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا أَبُو ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ لِنَفْسِهِ فَيُحِبُّهُ النَّاسُ قَالَ تِلْكَ عَاجِلُ بُشْرَى الْمُؤْمِنِ وَهَذَا الْكَلَامُ لَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا أَبُو ذَرٍّ
