حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ السَّکُونِيِّ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَائِ قَالَ أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثٍ لَا أَدَعُهُنَّ لِشَيْئٍ أَوْصَانِي بِصِيَامِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ کُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَلَا أَنَامُ إِلَّا عَلَی وِتْرٍ وَبِسُبْحَةِ الضُّحَی فِي الْحَضَرِ وَالسَّفَرِ
