البيهقي:١٥٤٠٨وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ نا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ نا أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ الزَّاهِدِيُّ نا النُّفَيْلِيُّ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَعْقِلِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ قَالَ أَدْنَى وَقْتِ الْحَيْضِ يَوْمٌ قَالَ

أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِلَى هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ كَانَ يَذْهَبُ الْإِمَامُ الْوَرِعُ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى
