الطبراني:٢٠٢حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَيَّانَ الرَّقِّيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجُعْفِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ انْتَهَى إِلَى طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ وَقَدْ مَاتَ فَنَزَلَ عَنْ دَابَّتِهِ وَأَجْلَسَهُ فَجَعَلَ §يَمْسَحُ الْغُبَارَ

عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ وَهُوَ يَتَرَحَّمُ عَلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ «لَيْتَنِي مِتُّ قَبْلَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ بِعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً»
