الدارمي:١٢٤أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَنبَأَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا سُئِلَ

عَنِ الْأَمْرِ أَكَانَ هَذَا؟ فَإِنْ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَدْ كَانَ حَدَّثَ فِيهِ بِالَّذِي يَعْلَمُ وَالَّذِي يَرَى وَإِنْ قَالُوا لَمْ يَكُنْ قَالَ فَذَرُوهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ
