أَخْبَرَنَا بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: أَسْلَمْتُ وَتَحْتِي خَمْسُ نِسْوَةٍ، فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «فَارِقْ وَاحِدَةً، وَأَمْسِكْ أَرْبَعًا» فَعَمَدْتُ إِلَى أَقْدَمِهِنَّ عِنْدِي عَاقِرٌ مُنْذُ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً فَفَارَقْتُهَا.
