السيوطي:٢-١٥٩٥b

"عَنْ هَمَّامِ قَالَ: جَاءَ (إِلَى) (*) عُمَرَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الكِتَابِ فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَلِكَ العَرَبِ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: هَكَذَا تَجِدُونَهُ فِى كِتَابِكُم؟ أَلَيْسَ تَجِدُونَ النَّبِىَّ، ثُمَّ الْخَلِيفَةَ، ثُمَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤمِنِينَ، ثُمَّ الْمُلُوكَ بَعْدُ؟ قَالَ لَهُ: بَلَى".
