أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ وَأَبِي الْيَمَانِ الْهَوْزَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ الْأَخْنَسِ السُّلَمِيَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا سَعَةُ حَوْضِكَ؟ قَالَ «كَمَا بَيْنَ عَدْنٍ إِلَى عَمَّانَ وَأَنَّ فِيهِ مَثْعَبَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ» قَالَ فَمَا حَوْضُكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مَذَاقَةً مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَأَطْيَبُ رَائِحَةً مِنَ الْمِسْكِ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَدًا وَلَمْ يَسْوَدْ وَجْهُهُ أَبَدًا»
