حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ الْعَجَلِيُّ قَالَا قَالَ وَکِيعٌ الْبَعْلُ الْکَبُوسُ الَّذِي يَنْبُتُ مِنْ مَائِ السَّمَائِ قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ وَقَالَ يَحْيَی يَعْنِي ابْنَ آدَمَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِيَاسٍ الْأَسَدِيَّ عَنْ الْبَعْلِ فَقَالَ الَّذِي يُسْقَی بِمَائِ السَّمَائِ و قَالَ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ الْبَعْلُ مَائُ الْمَطَرِ
