١٠٦٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَوْرَعَ مِنَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَلَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَعْلَمَ مِنَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: وَكَانَ طَاوُسٌ يَعُدُّ الْحَدِيثَ حَرْفًا حَرْفًا "
