حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ شَيْخٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُکُمْ إِلَی الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّ الرَّحْمَةَ تُوَاجِهُهُ فَلَا يَمْسَحْ الْحَصَی
