حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا عَلِيٍّ الْهَمْدَانِيّ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : "

كُنَّا مَعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ بِرُودِسَ مِنْ أَرْضِ الرُّومِ ، فَتُوُفِّيَ صَاحِبٌ لَنَا ، فَأَمَرَ فَضَالَةُ بِقَبْرِهِ فَسُوِّيَ ، ثُمّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُ بِتَسْوِيَتِهَا

" ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رُودِسُ جَزِيرَةٌ فِي الْبَحْرِ .
