479- وعن عبدِ الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما ، قَالَ : مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم وَنَحْنُ نعالِجُ خُصّاً لَنَا ، فَقَالَ : "مَا هَذَا ؟" فَقُلْنَا : قَدْ وَهَى ، فَنَحَنُ نُصْلِحُهُ ، فَقَالَ : "مَا أرَى الأَمْرَ إِلاَّ أعْجَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ" . رواه أَبو داود والترمذي بإسناد البخاري ومسلم ، وقال الترمذي : "حديثٌ حسنٌ صحيحٌ" .
