وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ:
كَتَبَ أَبُو مُوسَى ؓ إِلَى عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ: مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ إِلَى عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ: ابْنُ عَبْدِ قَيْسٍ، « أَمَّا بَعْدُ: إِنْ كُنْتَ تَغَيَّرْتَ فَعُدْ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ لَمْ تَتَغَيَّرْ فَدُمْ، وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ
