حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَحْيَی التَّوْأَمِ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ انْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَبُولُ فَاتَّبَعَهُ عُمَرُ بِمَائٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا عُمَرُ قَالَ مَائٌ قَالَ مَا أُمِرْتُ کُلَّمَا بُلْتُ أَنْ أَتَوَضَّأَ وَلَوْ فَعَلْتُ لَکَانَتْ سُنَّةً
