( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ، أَنْبَأَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْوَكِيلُ، ثَنَا ابْنُ عَرَفَةَ، ثَنَا رَوْحٌ، ثَنَا سَعِيدٌ وَهِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ:
أَنَّ أَنَسًا ؓ ضَعُفَ عَامًا قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ؛ فَأَفْطَرَ، وَأَمَرَ أَهْلَهُ أَنْ يُطْعِمُوا مَكَانَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِينًا
