الأدب المفرد:٨٥٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَقُولُ لأَخٍ لَهُ صَغِيرٍ أَرْدِفِ الْغُلاَمَ فَأَبَى فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ بِئْسَ مَا أُدِّبْتَ قَالَ قَيْسٌ فَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ دَعْ عَنْكَ أَخَاكَ
