حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْبَرِيدِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيَّرَ نِسَاءَهُ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةَ وَلَمْ يُخَيِّرْهُنَّ الطَّلَاقَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ قَالَ و حَدَّثَنَاه يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمِ بْنِ الْبَرِيدِ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ وَقَالَ خَيَّرَ نِسَاءَهُ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَمْ يُخَيِّرْهُنَّ الطَّلَاقَ.
