أحمد:٢٣٩٩٤حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ

أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ أَخَاهُ وَابْنَ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ حَدَّثَاهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ قَاصَّ مَسْلَمَةَ بِالْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ حَدَّثَهُمَا عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَقُصُّ عَلَى النَّاسِ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ أَوْ مُخْتَالٌ
