حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَدْرٍ شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ دَارِمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
إِنِّي قَدْ بَدَّنْتُ فَإِذَا رَكَعْتُ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا رَفَعْتُ فَارْفَعُوا وَإِذَا سَجَدْتُ فَاسْجُدُوا وَلاَ أُلْفِيَنَّ رَجُلاً يَسْبِقُنِي إِلَى الرُّكُوعِ وَلاَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ
