حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ: نَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ قَزَعَةَ قَالَ: نَا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ: نَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ:
مَا تَقُولُونَ لِأُمَرِائِكُمْ إِذَا دَخَلْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ ؟ " قَالُوا: نَقُولُ لَهُمْ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ. قَالَ: " فَإِذَا خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ مَا تَقُولُونَ ؟ " قَالُوا: نَقُولُ مَا لَا يَشْتَهُونَ. قَالَ: " هَذَا الَّذِي كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُ النِّفَاقَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
