حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ تَتَجَافَی جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنْ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ قَالَ کَانُوا يَتَيَقَّظُونَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَائِ يُصَلُّونَ وَکَانَ الْحَسَنُ يَقُولُ قِيَامُ اللَّيْلِ
