الزهد لأحمد:٢١٣٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شِمْرٍ قَالَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَ لِي كَيْفَ قُوَّتُكَ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ مِنَ الضَّعْفِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَ قَالَ

أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ «كُنْتُ أَنَا مِثْلَكَ أُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ أَقُومُ أُصَلِّي فَأَنَا حِينَ أُصَلِّي الْفَجْرَ أَنْشَطُ مِنِّي أَوَّلَ مَا بَدَأْتُ»
