أحمد:١٨٦٨٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَبَهْزٌ، قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيٍّ، قَالَ بَهْزٌ: قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يُحَدِّثُ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ: «هَاجِهِمْ أَوْ اهْجُهُمْ، وَجِبْرِيلُ مَعَكَ». قَالَ بَهْزٌ: اهْجُهُمْ وَهَاجِهِمْ، أَوْ قَالَ: اهْجُهُمْ أَوْ هَاجِهِمْ.
