السيوطي:٢-٣٤٦٧b

"عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ رَجُلًا يَتْبَعُ القَصَصَ، فَقَالَ لَه: أَتُحْسِنُ سُورَةَ يُوسُفَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ (قَالَ): (*) إقْرَأهَا؛ فَقَرَأهَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ: {نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ} (* *)، فَقالَ عُمَرُ: أتُرِيدُ أَحْسَن مِنْ أحْسَنِ القَصَصِ؟ ".
