حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، قَالَ : "
إِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْمُخْدَجُ لَمَعَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ نُجَالِسُهُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَكَانَ فَقِيرًا وَرَأَيْتُهُ مَعَ الْمَسَاكِينِ يَشْهَدُ طَعَامَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَعَ النَّاسِ ، وَقَدْ كَسَوْتُهُ بُرْنُسًا لِي
" ، قَالَ أَبُو مَرْيَمَ : وَكَانَ الْمُخْدَجُ يُسَمَّى نَافِعًا ذَا الثُّدْيَةِ ، وَكَانَ فِي يَدِهِ مِثْلُ ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ ، عَلَى رَأْسِهِ حَلَمَةٌ مِثْلُ حَلَمَةِ الثَّدْيِ ، عَلَيْهِ شُعَيْرَاتٌ مِثْلُ سِبَالَةِ السَّنَّوْرِ , قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : وَهُوَ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ اسْمُهُ حَرْقُوسُ .
