الزهد لأحمد:١٢٠٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ قَالَ رَأَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ ضَمْرَةَ قَوْمًا يَتَّبِعُونَ رَجُلًا وَقَالَ غَيْرُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَ

إِنَّهَا فِتْنَةٌ لِلْمَتْبُوعِ مَذَلَّةٌ لِلتَّابِعِ
