حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ زُرَيْعٍ ، وَيَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَاهُمْ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا قَسَامَةُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ آدَمَ مِنْ قَبْضَةٍ قَبَضَهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْأَرْضِ ، فَجَاءَ بَنُو آدَمَ عَلَى قَدْرِ الْأَرْضِ جَاءَ مِنْهُمُ الْأَحْمَرُ ، وَالْأَبْيَضُ ، وَالْأَسْوَدُ وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَالسَّهْلُ ، وَالْحَزْنُ ، وَالْخَبِيثُ ، وَالطَّيِّبُ

" ، زَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَالْإِخْبَارُ فِي حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ .
