البيهقي:٢٠٤١٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا خَالِدٌ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ شَهَادَةَ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى الْوَصِيَّةِ فِي صَحِيفَةٍ مَخْتُومَةٍ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ مَا فِيهَا وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ أَنَّ أَبَا قِلَابَةَ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَى الصَّحِيفَةِ الْمَخْتُومَةِ قَالَ لَعَلَّ فِيهَا جَوْرًا
