قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى وَالْبَزَّارُ مَعًا: حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ خَالِدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ:

إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَتَبَ إِلَى بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ: مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، أَسْلِمُوا تَسْلَمُوا. قَالُوا: فَمَا وَجَدْنَا مَنْ يَقْرَؤُهُ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي ضُبَيْعَةَ فَهُمْ يُسَمَّوْنَ بَنِي الْكَاتِبِ
