حازم بن خزيمة، وهرثمة بن أعين ١ وكان عنده فيه من الإحتيال ما لا يعرفه عمرو بن العاص، ولا المغيرة بن شعبة ٢ ؛ وكان كثيرا ما يمسك الخلال بيده، ليؤنس الداخل عليه من غدائه؛ فاذا دخل عليه الصديق له، وقد عزم على إطعام الزائر الزائرين قبله، وضاق صدره بالثالث، وإن كان قد دعاه وطلب إليه، أراد أن يحتال له، أو الرابع إن ابتلي كل واحد منهما بصاحبه، فيقول عند أول دخوله وخلع نعله وهو رافع صوته بالتنويه وبالتشنيع هات يا مبشر لفلان شيئا يطعم منه، هات له شيئا ينال منه، هات له شيئا ، اتكالا على خجله أو غضبه أو أنفته، وطمعا في أن يقول قد فعلت .
