حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نِيَارٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَ يَحْيَى أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَحِقَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِيُقَاتِلَ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ " ارْجِعْ " . ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا فَقَالَ " إِنَّا لاَ نَسْتَعِينُ بِمُشْرِكٍ " .
