٣٧٦٢٩ - حدثنا أبو أسامة قال: حدثنا الأعمش قال: حدثنا عمارة عن أبي معمر قال: كنا جلوسا عند عمرو بن شرحبيل فقال: اذهبوا بنا إلى أشبه الناس هديا ودلا وسمتا (وأبطنه) (١) بعبد اللَّه (٢)، فلم ندر من هو حتى انطلقننا إلى علقمة.
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ma'mar that he said: We were sitting with Hazrat Amr bin Shurahbil when he said: Go with us to that person among the people who most closely resembles Hazrat Abdullah in way of life, manner of speech, and conduct, and who is the greatest confidant of Hazrat Abdullah. We did not know who he was until we reached Hazrat Alqamah.
