الزهد لأحمد:٧٠٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى الْكِسَائِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ مُجَمِّعٍ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مِحْجَنٍ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بِالرَّحْبَةِ فَدَعَا بِسَيْفٍ فَسَلَّهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذَا فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي ثَمَنَ إِزَارٍ مَا بِعْتُهُ
