وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: مَتَى تُوتِرُ ؟ قَالَ: أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ، قَالَ: فَأَنْتَ يَا عُمَرُ ؟ قَالَ: آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ. قَالَ: أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَأَخَذْتَ بِالثِّقَةِ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عُمَرُ فَأَخَذْتَ بِالْقُوَّةِ.
