الزهد لأحمد:٨٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْمَكِّيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِصَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ وَلَوْ رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً»
