مسلم:٤٩٥bحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ وَاللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ كِلاَهُمَا

عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَجَدَ يُجَنِّحُ فِي سُجُودِهِ حَتَّى يُرَى وَضَحُ إِبْطَيْهِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ اللَّيْثِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ فَرَّجَ يَدَيْهِ عَنْ إِبْطَيْهِ حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَرَى بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ
