( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي قَالَا: ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: قُرِئَ عَلَى ابْنِ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَكَ هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجُهَنِيُّ قَالَ:
دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: مَتَى يُصَلِّي الصَّبِيُّ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يَذْكُرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: مَتَى عَرَفَ يَمِينَهُ مِنْ يَسَارِهِ فَمُرُوهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ
