أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَنبَأَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ
إِنَّمَا يُفْتِي النَّاسَ أَحَدُ ثَلَاثَةٍ رَجُلٌ عَلِمَ نَاسِخَ الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ مَنْسُوخِهِ قَالُوا وَمَنْ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ «وَأَمِيرٌ لَا يَجِدُ بُدًّا أَوْ أَحْمَقُ مُتَكَلِّفٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَلَسْتُ بِوَاحِدٍ مِنْ هَذَيْنِ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ الثَّالِثَ
