إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا عَجِلَ بِهِ السَّيْرُ جَمَعَ مَا بَيْنَ هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ فَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَجْمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ فَسِرْنَا أَمْيَالًا ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى قَالَ يَحْيَى فَحَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَقَالَ سِرْنَا إِلَى قَرِيبٍ مِنْ رُبُعِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى
