Arabic text

39 - أخبرنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد بن عبد الرحمن بن عقدة قال: حدثنا محمد بن سالم بن عبد الرحمن الأزدي في شوال سنة إحدى وثمانين ومائتين، قال: حدثنا عثمان بن سعيد الطويل، عن أحمد بن سير، عن موسى بن بكر الواسطي، عن الفضيل عن أبي عبد الله في قوله وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِ ۗ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُنْذِرٌ ۖ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ قال: كلُّ إمام هادٍ للقرن الذي هو فيهم.
