حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلاَمِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الدَّالاَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلاَءِ الأَوْدِيِّ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ
إِذَا اجْتَمَعَ الدَّاعِيَانِ فَأَجِبْ أَقْرَبَهُمَا بَابًا فَإِنَّ أَقْرَبَهُمَا بَابًا أَقْرَبُهُمَا جِوَارًا وَإِنْ سَبَقَ أَحَدُهُمَا فَأَجِبِ الَّذِي سَبَقَ
