حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، مِثْلَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ إِنْسَانًا، أَحْسَنَ صَوْتًا أَوْ قِرَاءَةً مِنْهُ ‏.‏
