أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
«لَا تُوتِرُوا بِثَلَاثٍ أَوْتِرُوا بِخَمْسٍ أَوْ بِسَبْعٍ وَلَا تَشَبَّهُوا بِصَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ»
