أحمد:١٩٨٧١حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ قَالَ مَرَّ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ بِمَجْلِسِنَا فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ فَتًى مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَسَأَلَهُ

عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْغَزْوِ وَالْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ فَجَاءَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْ أَمْرٍ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوهُ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَشَهِدْتُ مَعَهُ الْفَتْحَ فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَقُولُ لِأَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ صَلُّوا أَرْبَعًا؛ فَإِنَّا سَفْرٌ وَاعْتَمَرْتُ مَعَهُ ثَلَاثَ عُمَرٍ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ حَجَّاتٍ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّيَا إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِحَتَّى رَجَعَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ
