البيهقي:١٦٧١٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أَنْبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ الْبَغَوِيُّ وَأَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْمَنِيعِيُّ قَالَا ثَنَا عَلِيٌّ هُوَ ابْنُ الْجَعْدِ أَنْبَأَ شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمَّارًا ؓ يَقُولُ

حِينَ بَعَثَهُ عَلِيٌّ ؓ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ لِيَسْتَنْفِرَ النَّاسَ: إِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا زَوْجَةُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ ابْتَلَاكُمْ بِهَا۔
