أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ مَخْرَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سُهَيْلَ بْنَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي , يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَفْدُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثَلَاثَةٌ : الْغَازِي ، وَالْحَاجُّ ، وَالْمُعْتَمِرُ " .
