١٦٨١ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ شُجَاعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَلِيمِ بْنِ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ: «إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا، يَكُونَ أَحَدٌ أَسْعَدَ بِمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْكَ فَافْعَلْ»
