حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، نَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ثَنَا خُلَيْدُ بْنُ دَعْلَجٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَزْعُمُونَ فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ: وَيَتْلُوهُ شَاهِدٌ مِنْهُ. أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّالِي ؟ فَقَالَ: وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لِسَانُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ
