حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ خَلِيفَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عُرْفُطَةَ، قَالَ:
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ ؓ - فَذَكَرَ حِكَايَةً طَوِيلَةً فِيهَا - فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي قَدْ أُوتِيتُ جَوَامِعَ الْكَلِمِ وَخَوَاتِيمَهُ، وَاخْتُصِرَ لِيَ الْكَلَامُ اخْتِصَارًا
