الزهد لأحمد:٢٢٩٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الْأَعْرَجِ قَالَ أَقْبَلَ ابْنٌ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ إِنَّ أَحْسَنَ حَالَاتِهِ عِنْدِي أَنْ يَمُوتَ فَأَحْتَسِبُهُ قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ

وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ
