البيهقي:٨٦أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُؤَمَّلِ ثنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى

عَنْ أَبِي بَحْرٍ وَكَانَ يَنْزِلُ بِالْكُوفَةِ وَكَانَ أَصْلُهُ بِصْرِيًّا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي الْفِرَاءِ ذَكَاتُهُ دِبَاغُهُ هَكَذَا  

رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى
