حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى الْحِيرِيُّ ثنا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ قَطَنٍ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَبِيبَةَ وَهُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ

أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ ﷻ {إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِ} [نوح 1] فَذَكَرَ أَنَّ نُوحًا اغْتَسَلَ فَرَأَى ابْنَهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: تَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَغْتَسِلُ؟ خَارَ اللَّهُ لَوْنَكَ! قَالَ: فَاسْوَدَّ فَهُوَ أَبُو السُّودَانِ۔
