مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ
أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ
الْمُهَلَّبِ بْنِ أَبِي صُفْرَةَ،
عَمَّنْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِنْ بَيَّتَكُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَقُولُوا : " حم " لَا يُنْصَرُونَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ ، وَهَكَذَا رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، مِثْلَ رِوَايَةِ الثَّوْرِيِّ ، وَرُوِيَ عَنْهُ ، عَنْ الْمُهَلَّبِ بْنِ أَبِي صُفْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْسَلًا .
