الأدب المفرد:١١١٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْفَرَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ مَرَّ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بِنَصْرَانيٍّ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَأُخْبِرَ

أَنَّهُ نَصْرَانِيٌّ فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رُدَّ عَلَيَّ سَلامِي
