وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ ثنا الْحَسَنُ ثنا يَحْيَى ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْعَبْسِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ حُدَيْرٍ قَالَ مَا كُنَّا نَعْشُرُ مُسْلِمًا وَلَا مُعَاهَدًا قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْشُرُونَ؟ قَالَ تُجَّارَ أَهْلِ الْحَرْبِ كَمَا يَعْشُرُونَنَا إِذَا أَتَيْنَاهُمْ
