البيهقي:٢٠٠١ – وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ قُرِئَ عَلَى ابْنِ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَكَ حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِبَنِي خَطْمَةَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَا بَنِي خَطْمَةَ اجْعَلُوا مُؤَذِّنَكُمْ أَفْضَلَكُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَهَذَا أَيْضًا مُرْسَلٌ
