( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ السُّكَّرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّافِعِيُّ، ثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَزْهَرِ، ثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ غَسَّانَ الْغَلَّابِيُّ، ثَنَا يَعْلَى، ثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ:

قُلْتُ لِشَقِيقٍ: مَنْ كَانَ كَاتِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ، وَقَدْ أَتَانَا كِتَابُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ، وَفِي أَسْفَلِهِ: وَكَتَبَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ
