حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَمُسَدَّدٌ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ الْحَجَبِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي خَالِي عَنْ أُمِّي صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ الَأسْلَمِيَّةَ تَقُولُ قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ مَا قَالَ لَکَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ دَعَاکَ قَالَ قَالَ إِنِّي نَسِيتُ أَنْ آمُرَکَ أَنْ تُخَمِّرَ الْقَرْنَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَکُونَ فِي الْبَيْتِ شَيْئٌ يَشْغَلُ الْمُصَلِّيَ قَالَ ابْنُ السَّرْحِ خَالِي مُسَافِعُ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2030
Al-Aslamiyyah said: I said to Uthman ibn Talhah al-Hajabi): What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to you when he called you? He said: (The Prophet said: ) I forgot to order you to cover the two horns (of the lamb), for it is not advisable that there should be anything in the House (the Kabah) which diverts the attention of the man at prayer. Ibn as-Sarh said: The name of my maternal uncle is Musafi' ibn Shaybah.
