حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ‏:‏ زَادَ فِيهِ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ قَالَ ‏:‏ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَغْزُهُمْ ‏.‏
