أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُکُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا يَمْسَحْ الْحَصَی فَإِنَّ الرَّحْمَةَ تُوَاجِهُهُ
