حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمُ بْنُ بُشَيْرٍ إِمْلَاءً قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَالْمُؤَذِّنُ يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَهُوَ يَسْتَخْبِرُ النَّاسَ يَسْأَلُهُمْ عَنْ أَخْبَارِهِمْ وَأَسْعَارِهِمْ
