ابن حبّان:١٠٨١أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَضَّأَ فَخَلَّلَ لِحْيَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَقَالَ «هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَلَهُ»
