حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ يَرْوِيهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "

مَنْ حَفِظَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ عُصِمَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ

" ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَكَذَا قَالَ هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ حَفِظَ مِنْ خَوَاتِيمِ سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ ، وَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ مِنْ آخِرِ الْكَهْفِ .
