الزهد لأحمد:٨١٦ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ

أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ أَتَى بَيْتَ عِلْجَةٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكَةٍ يَلْتَمِسُ مَكَانًا يُصَلِّي فِيهِ فَقَالَت ابْتَغِ قَلْبًا طَاهِرًا وَصَلِّ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَقِهْتَ
