حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا شِهَابُ بْنُ خِرَاشٍ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ قَالَ ضَرَبَ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ هَذَا الْمِنْبَرَ
ضَرَبَ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ هَذَا الْمِنْبَرَ، وَقَالَ: خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، وَذَكَرَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَذْكُرَ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ كَانَ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ثُمَّ عُمَرُ، ثُمَّ أَحْدَثْنَا بَعْدَهُمَا أَحْدَاثًا يَقْضِي اللهُ فِيهَا
