البيهقي:١٧٢٤٢قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أنبأ حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ التُّجِيبِيُّ قَالَ كَتَبَ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ يَسْأَلُهُ

عَنْ نَبَّاشِي الْقُبُورِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ لَعَمْرِي لَيُحْسَبُ سَارِقُ الْأَمْوَاتِ أَنْ يُعَاقَبَ بِمَا يُعَاقَبُ بِهِ سَارِقُ الْأَحْيَاءِ
