وحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الرُّومِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا يَزَالُونَ يَسْأَلُونَكَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا : " هَذَا اللَّهُ ، فَمَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : فَبَيْنَا أَنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، إِذْ جَاءَنِي نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، هَذَا اللَّهُ ، فَمَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ ؟ قَالَ : فَأَخَذَ حَصًى بِكَفِّهِ فَرَمَاهُمْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : قُومُوا قُومُوا ، صَدَقَ خَلِيلِي .
