حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ كُرَاعٌ ، لَقَبِلْتُ ، وَلَوْ دُعِيتُ عَلَيْهِ ، لَأَجَبْتُ " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، وَعَائِشَةَ ، وَالْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ ، وَسَلْمَانَ ، وَمُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حَيْدَةَ ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
