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 .
