أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ فِرَاسٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ فَتًى : مَا تَقُولُ يَا عَمَّاهُ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا؟، قَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، أَكَانَ هَذَا؟، قَالَ : لَا، قَالَ :" فَأَعْفِنَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ "
