وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ:
أَتَى أَهْلُ نَجْرَانَ عَلِيًّا ؓ، فَقَالُوا: نَسْأَلُكَ خَطَّكَ بِيَدِكَ، وَشَفَاعَتَكَ بِلِسَانِكَ: أَنْ تَرُدَّنَا، قَالَ: كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ رَشِيدَ الْأَمْرِ، فَلَوْ طُعِنَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمًا لَطُعِنَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ
