"عَنْ أَبِى مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِىِّ أَنَّ الْحُسَينَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الْجَدَلِىَّ (*) أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ مَكَّةَ خَطَبَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ أَنْ نَنْسُكَ لِلرُّؤْيَةِ فَإنْ لَمْ نَرَهُ وَشَهِدَ

شَاهِدَا عَدْلٍ نَسَكْنَا لِشَهَادَتِهِمَا، فَسَأَلْتُ الْحُسيْنَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ مَنْ أَمِيرُ مَكَّةَ؟ قَالَ: هُوَ الْحَارِثُ (*) بْنُ حَاطِبٍ أَخُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ".
