أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ
أَنَّهُ كَاتَبَ غُلَامًا لَهُ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ عَنْهُ أَلْفًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا كَاتَبَ غُلَامًا لَهُ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ عَنْهُ الرُّبُعَ مَا فَعَلْتُ»
