البيهقي:١٩٣٩٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أنبأ عَاصِمٌ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَوْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ ؓ

أَنَّهُ صَادَ أَرْنَبَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ حَدِيدَةً يُذَكِّيهِمَا بِهَا فَذَكَّاهُمَا بِمَرْوَةٍ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهِمَا
