أَخْبَرَنَا
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا
هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ
ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: "هَكَذَا كَانُوا يُوصُونَ: هَذَا مَا أَوْصَى بِهِ فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ، أَنَّهُ
يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَا، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ، وَأَوْصَى مَنْ تَرَكَ بَعْدَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ أَنْ يَتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَيُصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِهِمْ، وَأَنْ يُطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِنْ كَانُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ، وَأَوْصَاهُمْ بِمَا أَوْصَى بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بَنِيهِ وَيَعْقُوبُ: يَا بَنِيَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى لَكُمُ الدِّينَ فَلا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ سورة البقرة آية 132، وَأَوْصَى إِنْ حَدَثَ بِهِ حَدَثٌ مِنْ وَجَعِهِ هَذَا، أَنَّ حَاجَتَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا".
