حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَمُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: أَيَّ حِينٍ تُوتِرُ ؟ قَالَ: أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ، قَالَ: فَأَنْتَ يَا عُمَرُ ؟ قَالَ: آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَأَخَذْتَ بِالْوُثْقَى، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عُمَرُ فَأَخَذْتَ بِالْقُوَّةِ.
