التخريج من المصادر العربية

سنن الترمذي:
(١٩٨٢)  
حدثنا محمود بن غيلان قال: حدثنا أبو داود الحفري، عن سفيان، عن زياد بن علاقة، قال: سمعت المغيرة بن شعبة يقول: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «لا تسبوا الأموات فتؤذوا الأحياء»: وقد اختلف أصحاب سفيان في هذا الحديث، فروى بعضهم مثل رواية الحفري، وروى بعضهم، عن سفيان، عن زياد بن علاقة، قال: سمعت رجلا يحدث عند المغيرة بن شعبة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، نحوه.

صحيح ابن حبان:
(٣٠٢٢)
 أخبرنا عبد الله بن محمد الأزدي قال: حدثنا إسحاق بن إبراهيم قال: أخبرنا الملائي وأبو داود الحفري قالا: حدثنا سفيان عن زياد بن علاقة أنه سمع المغيرة بن شعبة يقول قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «لا تسبوا الأموات فتؤذوا الأحياء».
