البيهقي:٢٠٢٩٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ التَّنُوخِيُّ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ أنبأ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غَيْلَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ

كَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ إِنَّ تِجَارَةَ الْأَمِيرِ فِي إِمَارَتِهِ خَسَارَةٌ
