حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لاَ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَكَانَ يَتَهَجَّدُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قُلْتُ وَكَانَ يُوتِرُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ
