- وَقَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ - وَكَانَ خَيْرًا مِنِ ابْنَيْهِ - عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالُوا:
الرَّجُلُ يَعْرِفُهُ عَلَيْنَا. فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا عَرِيفُكُمُ الْأَهْيَسُ الْأَكْيَسُ الذِّئْبُ الْأَطْلَسُ، الْمُكُدُ الْمِلْحَسُ الَّذِي إِذَا قِيلَ: " هَا " انْتَهَسَ، وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ " هَاتِ " خَنَسَ
