Chapter 42 · Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah)حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: لَوْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ كَلِمَةَ الْحَسَنِ تَبْلُغُ مَا بَلَغَتْ، لَكَتَبْنَا بِرُجُوعِهِ كِتَابًا وَأَشْهَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ شُهُودًا، وَلَكِنَّا قُلْنَا: كَلِمَةٌ خَرَجَتْ لَا تُحْمَلُ .
