٢٠٣٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، ثنا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّوَّارِ، عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَهْطًا فَلَقُوا ابْنَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ فَقَتَلُوهُ. فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ: قَتَلْتُمْ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ، إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ قَالَ: مِنَ الشِّرْكِ.
وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ قَالَ: مِنَ الشِّرْكِ
