عن عامر بن واثلة

أن نافع بن عبد الحارث لقي عمر بعسفان. وكان عمر يستعمله على مكة. فقال: من استعملت على أهل الوادي؟ فقال: ابن أبزى؟ قال: من ابن أبزى؟ قال: مولى من موالينا. قال: فاستخلفت عليهم مولى؟ قال: إنه قارئ لكتاب الله عز وجل. وإنه عالم بالفرائض. قال عمر: أما إن نبيكم قد قال: إن الله يرفع بهذا الكتاب أقواما، ويضع به آخرين.
