٢١٥٣ - أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، قَالَ: نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ مَطَرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ، يَقُولُ: " قَالَ لِي حَفَّارُ مَقَابِرَ: أَعْجَبُ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنَ هَذِهِ الْمَقَابِرِ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْ قَبْرٍ أَنِينًا كَأَنِينِ الْمَرِيضِ، وَسَمِعْتُ مِنْ قَبْرٍ وَالْمُؤَذِّنُ يُؤَذِّنُ وَهُوَ يُجِيبُهُ مِنَ الْقَبْرِ "
