أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكَّارِ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ سُمَيْعٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا فَاطِمَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَدِّثْنِي بِعَمَلٍ، أَسْتَقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعْمَلُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ عَلَيْكَ بِالْهِجْرَةِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ مِثْلَ لَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏
