حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْوَرَكَانِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ
أَتَانِي مَلَكَانِ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِلْآخَرِ: أَقْرِئْهُ. قَالَ: عَلَى كَمْ؟ قَالَ: [عَلَى] حَرْفٍ. قَالَ: زِدْهُ. قَالَ: حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعَةَ أَحْرُفٍ
