حَدَّثَنَا غِيَاثُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّحَبِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جَابِرٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: >لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا بَلَاءٌ وَفِتْنَةٌ<
