حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُ ثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ ثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ بْنِ أَبِي رَزِينٍ قَالَ
قِيلَ لِلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَيُّمَا أَكْبَرُ أَنْتَ أَمِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ «هُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي وَأَنَا وُلِدْتُ قَبْلَهُ»
