I said to him, 'O Abu Muhammad, I see that you love the gatherings the most and you stroke your beard against your chest. If you dislike this matter, then leave it, as no one forces you to do it.' He said, 'O Alqamah bin Waqqas, do not blame me. We were once united like one hand against our enemies, but now we have become like two mighty mountains of iron, and one of us reaches out to his companion.' Al-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary."
وَرَأَيْتُ طَلْحَةَ وَأَحَبُّ الْمَجَالِسِ إِلَيْهِ أَخْلَاهَا وَهُوَ ضَارِبٌ بِلِحْيَتِهِ عَلَى زَوْرِهِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنِّي أَرَاكَ وَأَحَبُّ الْمَجَالِسِ إِلَيْكَ أَخْلَاهَا وَأَنْتَ ضَارِبٌ بِلِحْيَتِكَ عَلَى زَوْرِكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَكْرَهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فَدَعْهُ فَلَيْسَ يُكْرِهُكَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ قَالَ «يَا عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ لَا تَلُمْنِي كُنَّا أَمْسِ يَدًا وَاحِدَةً عَلَى مَنْ سِوَانَا فَأَصْبَحْنَا الْيَوْمَ جَبَلَيْنِ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ يَزْحَفُ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
