حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ : " فِي أَخَوَيْنِ وَرِثَا مَوْلًى كَانَ أَعْتَقَهُ أَبُوهُمَا، فَمَاتَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَتَرَكَ وَلَدًا، قَالَ : كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ، وَزَيْدٌ ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُونَ :" الْوَلاءُ لِلْكَبِر "

Muhammad bin Issa told us, Abu Awanah told us, on the authority of Mughirah, on the authority of Ibrahim: “There were two brothers who inherited a slave whom their father had freed. One of them died and left behind a son. He said: Ali, Zaid, and Abdullah used to say: “Loyalty is to pride.”
