الزهد لأحمد:٢٠٤٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ

«كُنْتُ مَعَ مَسْرُوقٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى السِّلْسِلَةِ أَمِيرًا فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَعَفَّ مِنْ مَسْرُوقٍ مَا كَانَ يُصِيبُ إِلَّا الْمَاءَ مِنْ دِجْلَةَ»
