حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الأَوْدِيُّ وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الدَّهَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ
لَدَغَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَقْرَبٌ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْعَقْرَبَ مَا تَدَعُ الْمُصَلِّيَ وَغَيْرَ الْمُصَلِّي اقْتُلُوهَا فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ
