5134 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ أَحْمَدُ: قَالَ مَرَّةً يَعْنِي هُشَيْمًا عَنْ بَعْضِ وَلَدِ الْعَلَاءِ، أَنَّ الْعَلَاءَ بْنَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، كَانَ عَامِلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ فَكَانَ «إِذَا كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ بَدَأَ بِنَفْسِهِ»
