الزهد لأحمد:١٢٧٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ قَالَ هَرِمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ «أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ

أَنْ يُدْرِكَنِي زَمَانٌ يَأْمُلُ فِيهِ كَبِيرُهُمْ وَيَتَمَرَّدُ فِيهِ صَغِيرُهُمْ وَتَقْتَرِبُ فِيهِ آجَالُهُمْ»
