حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْشَاذَ الْعَدْلُ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْخِرِّيتِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
«كَانَ الْهُدْهُدُ يَدُلُّ سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ» فَقُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ وَالْهُدْهُدُ يُنْصَبُ لَهُ الْفَخُّ يُلْقَى عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابُ؟ فَقَالَ «أَهْنَكَ اللَّهُ بِهَنِّ أَبِيكَ أَوَ لَمْ يَكُنْ إِذَا جَاءَ الْقَضَاءُ ذَهَبَ الْبَصَرُ؟»
