البيهقي:٢٠٣٢ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ ثنا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا أَبُو غَالِبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَقُولُ الْمُؤَذِّنُونَ أُمَنَاءُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْأَئِمَّةُ ضُمَنَاءُ قَالَ
