حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْقَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ خِرِّيتِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ ، يَقُولُ : كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَى عَنْ طَعَامِ الْمُتَبَارِيَيْنِ أَنْ يُؤْكَلَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : أَكْثَرُ مَنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ جَرِيرٍ لَا يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، وَهَارُونُ النَّحْوِيُّ ذَكَرَ فِيهِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَيْضًا ، وَحَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ .
