عن ابن القيم قَالَ الْحَسَنُ رحمه الله إِذَا عَزَّيْتَ الذِّمِّيَّ فَقُلْ لَا يُصِيبُكَ إِلَّا خَيْرٌ
وعن هُرَيْم قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْأَجْلَحَ رحمه الله عَزَّى نَصْرَانِيًّا فَقَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَالصَّبْرِ
وعن مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رحمه الله قَالَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُعَزِّيَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَقُلْ أَكْثَرَ اللَّهُ مَالَكَ وَوَلَدَكَ وَأَطَالَ حَيَاتَكَ
وعن حَرْب قُلْتُ لِإِسْحَاقَ رحمه الله فَكَيْفَ يُعَزَّى الْمُشْرِكُ قَالَ يَقُولُ أَكْثَرُ اللَّهُ مَالَكَ وَوَلَدَكَ
