الطبراني:١٦٩٩٤حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْقَطِرَانِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ النَّرْسِيُّ ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَسَّانَ بْنَ كُرَيْبٍ الْحِمْيَرِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ ذِي كَلَاعٍ يَقُولُ جَاءَ مُعَاوِيَةُ يُرِيدُ مِنْ صَاحِبِ أَرْمِينِيَةَ فَلَمَّا قَرَأَ مُعَاوِيَةُ الْكِتَابَ خَرَجَ مُغْضَبًا ثُمَّ دَعَا كَاتِبَهُ فَقَالَ

اكْتُبْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ أَرْمِينِيَةَ جَوَابَ كِتَابِهِ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ وَلَا تُحَرِّكْهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تَارِكُوا التُّرْكَ مَا تَرَكُوكُمْ»
