"عَنْ أبِى عُبَيْدةَ قَال: مَرَّ ابنُ مَسْعُودٍ بِرجُلٍ صَافٍّ بَيْنَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَقَالَ: أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ أخْطأ السُّنَةَ لَو رَاوَحَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَانَ أحبَّ إلىَّ".

النسائي:٨٩٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَيْسَرَةُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمِنْهَالَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَجُلاً يُصَلِّي قَدْ صَفَّ بَيْنَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَخْطَأَ السُّنَّةَ وَلَوْ رَاوَحَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَانَ أَعْجَبَ إِلَىَّ
