حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْخَوَّاصُ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو السَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : "

لَا يَقُصُّ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ ، أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ ، أَوْ مُخْتَالٌ
