٥٨٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أبِي، حَدَّثَنَا حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ تُرِدْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَلَمْ يُرِدْهَا، وَأَرَادَتِ ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَلَمْ يُرِدْهَا»
