حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ، سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رَفَعَهُ وَأَكْثَرُ مَا كَانَ يُوقِفُهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ ‏ "‏ يُقَالُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ امْتَلأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ فَيَضَعُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَدَمَهُ عَلَيْهَا فَتَقُولُ قَطِ قَطِ ‏"‏‏.‏
