مسلم:٢٢١٢bحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ حَدَّثَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَوْرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَابْرُدُوهَا عَنْكُمْ بِالْمَاءِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْكُمْ وَقَالَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ
