وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ قَالَ:

إِنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى ؓ كَتَبَ إِلَى دِهْقَانٍ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي كِتَابِهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ، وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيَّ، فَرَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ
