حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ الرَّحَبِيِّ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا عَادَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي خُرْفَةِ الْجَنَّةِ " . وَفِي الْبَاب : عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، وَأَبِي مُوسَى ، وَالْبَرَاءِ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَأَنَسٍ ، وَجَابِرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ ثَوْبَانَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَرَوَى أَبُو غِفَارٍ، وَعَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ ، وسَمِعْت مُحَمَّدًا ، يَقُولُ : مَنْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ فَهُوَ أَصَحُّ ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ : وَأَحَادِيثُ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ ، إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَهُوَ عِنْدِي عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ .
