حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّازِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، ثنا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ أَدْهَمَ رَحِمَهُ اللّٰهُ، يَقُولُ: >كُنَّا إِذَا رَأَيْنَا الْحَدَثَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَ الْكِبَارِ أَيَسْنَا مِنْ خَلَاقِهِ وَمَنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ عِنْدَهُ<
