السيوطي:٤-٢٦٧٣b

"عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ قَوْمٌ فَصَحِبَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَقَدِمُوا وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُم فَاتَّهمَهمْ أَهْلُهُ فَقَالَ شُرَيْح: شُهُودكُم أَنَّهُمْ قَتَلُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ وَإِلَّا حَلَفُوا بِالله مَا قَتَلُوهُ.

فَأَتَوْا عَلِيّا قَالَ: سَعْيدٌ وأَنَا عِنْدَهُ فَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُم، فَاعْترَفُوا فَسَمِعْتُ عَلِيّا يَقُولُ: أَنَا أَبُو حَسِنِ الْقَومِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ عَلِىٌّ فَقُتِلُوا".
