أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ عَنْ سُمَيٍّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَقْرَبُ مَا يَکُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَکْثِرُوا الدُّعَائَ
