الطبراني:١٦٧٤٧حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ أَكْبَرُهُمْ سِنًّا» «وَكَانَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الْحُوَيْرِثِ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ قَعَدَ ثُمَّ نَهَضَ»
