النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَسُبُّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَسَاقَ نَحْوَهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ , كَمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ .
