( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، ثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، ثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو طَرِيفٍ:
أَنَّهُ كَانَ شَاهِدًا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُحَاصِرٌ لِأَهْلِ الطَّائِفِ قَالَ: فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا صَلَاةَ الْبَصَرِ حَتَّى لَوْ أَنَّ إِنْسَانًا رَمَى بِنَبْلِهِ أَبْصَرَ مَوَاقِعَ نَبْلِهِ
