حَدَّثَنَا
سُوَيْدٌ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ
يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ النَّارِ نَامَ هَارِبُهَا ، وَلَا مِثْلَ الْجَنَّةِ نَامَ طَالِبُهَا " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ضَعِيفٌ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ شُعْبَةُ ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ ابْنُ مَوْهَبٍ وَهُوَ مَدَنِيٌّ .
