٢٧٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ: سَالِمٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُلَيْلٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ: أُعْطِيَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ سَبْعَةَ نُجَبَاءَ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ، وَأُعْطِيَ النَّبِيُّ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ نُجَبَاءَ، مِنْهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ.
