النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ ، قَالَ أَحْمَدُ قَالَ مَرَّةً يَعْنِي هُشَيْمًا ، عَنْ بَعْضِ وَلَدِ الْعَلَاءِ "

أَنَّ الْعَلَاءَ بْنَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ كَانَ عَامِلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ ، فَكَانَ إِذَا كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ بَدَأَ بِنَفْسِهِ
