حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ، عَنْ دِينَارٍ أَبِي عُمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَإِذَا نِسْوَةٌ جُلُوسٌ فَقَالَ " مَا يُجْلِسُكُنَّ " . قُلْنَ نَنْتَظِرُ الْجِنَازَةَ . قَالَ " هَلْ تَغْسِلْنَ " . قُلْنَ لاَ . قَالَ " هَلْ تَحْمِلْنَ " . قُلْنَ لاَ . قَالَ " هَلْ تُدْلِينَ فِيمَنْ يُدْلِي " . قُلْنَ لاَ . قَالَ " فَارْجِعْنَ مَأْزُورَاتٍ غَيْرَ مَأْجُورَاتٍ " .
