ابن ماجة:١٨٤٩حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ آدَمَ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ التَّبَتُّلِ زَادَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ وَقَرَأَ قَتَادَةُ {وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلاً مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً}
