النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : أُتِيَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَقِيلَ : هَذَا فُلَانٌ تَقْطُرُ لِحْيَتُهُ خَمْرًا ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : "

إِنَّا قَدْ نُهِينَا عَنِ التَّجَسُّسِ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ يَظْهَرْ لَنَا شَيْءٌ نَأْخُذْ بِهِ
