الطبراني:٩٣٩٤حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ وَالْأَسْوَدِ أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ دَخَلَ عَلَى عُتْبَةَ أَخِيهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى سِوَاكٍ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ فَرَمَاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ

«أَوْمِئْ إِيمَاءً وَلْيَكُنْ رَكْعَتُكَ أَرْفَعَ مِنْ سَجْدَتِكَ»
