الطبراني:٢٨٧٩ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ الْكُوفِيُّ ثنا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ حِينَ أُتِيَ بِرَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ بِقَضِيبٍ فِي أَنْفِهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ هَذَا حُسْنًا فَقُلْتُ «أَمَا إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ أَشْبَهِهِمْ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ»
