حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَی فِي السَّيْلِ الْمَهْزُورِ أَنْ يُمْسَکَ حَتَّی يَبْلُغَ الْکَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ الْأَعْلَی عَلَی الْأَسْفَلِ
