السيوطي:٢-١٩٥١b

"عن الشَّعْبِىِّ قَالَ: كَتَبَ أبُو مُوسَى إِلَى عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِينَا مِنْ قِبَلِكَ كُتُبٌ لَيْسَ لَهَا تَارِيخٌ فَأرِّخْ، فَاسْتَشَارَ عُمَرُ في ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: أرِّخْ لِمَبْعَثِ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِوَفَاتِهِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: بَلْ نُؤَرِّخُ لِمُهَاجَرِهِ فَإِنَّ مُهَاجَرَهُ فَرَّق بَيْنَ الحَقِّ وَالْبَاطِلِ".
