السيوطي:٤-١٦٥٧b

"عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَتَى عَلِيًّا رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: أَنْتَ خَيرُ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ رَأَيْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: لَا. قَال: أَمَا رَأَيتَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ؟ قَالَ: لا. قَالَ: فَما رَأَيْتَ عُمَرَ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: إِنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ: إِنَّكَ رَأَيْتَ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ لَقَتَلْتُكَ، وَلَوْ قُلْتَ: رَأَيْتَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ لَجَلدتُكَ".
