حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَاشِمٍ يَعْنِي الزَّعْفَرَانِيَّ حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدِي يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلاَةَ فَهِيَ لَكُمْ وَهِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَصَلُّوا مَعَهُمْ مَا صَلَّوُا الْقِبْلَةَ
