حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ کُلْثُومٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّی عَلَی جِنَازَةٍ ثُمَّ أَتَی قَبْرَ الْمَيِّتِ فَحَثَی عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا
