حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَهُ فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ قَالَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ رَکْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّی صَلَّی ثَمَانِيَ رَکَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ بِخَمْسٍ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ بَيْنَهُنَّ
