أحمد:٢٦٦١حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلانِ يَحْفِرَانِ الْقُبُورَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ يَحْفِرُ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَحْفِرُ لِلأنْصَارِ وَيَلْحَدُ لَهُمْ قَالَ
