أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْرَجَ إِلَيَّ مَعْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كِتَابًا، فَحَلَفَ لِي بِاللَّهِ أَنَّهُ خَطُّ أَبِيه ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ : قَال عَبْدُ اللَّهِ :" وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَشَدَّ عَلَى الْمُتَنَطِّعِينَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، وَإِنِّي لَأَرَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ أَشَدَّ خَوْفًا عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ لَهُمْ "
