ابن ماجة:٥١١حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ تَوْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُبَشِّرٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ بِوُضُوءٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا فَقَالَ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ هَذَا فَأَنَا أَصْنَعُ كَمَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
