حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ ، أنبأنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، وَعَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ وَقَّاصٍ ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ ، وَكُلٌّ حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ , قَالَتْ : " وَلَشَأْنِي فِي نَفْسِي كَانَ أَحْقَرَ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ اللَّهُ فِيَّ بِأَمْرٍ يُتْلَى " .
