أحمد:٥٦٥١حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يُحَدِّثُ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مُلْتَمِسًا فَلْيَلْتَمِسْ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ وَإِنْ ضَعُفَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَوْ غُلِبَ فَلَا يُغْلَبْ عَلَى السَّبْعِ الْبَوَاقِي
