حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ عِرْبَاضِ بْنِ سَارِيَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ
كَانَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِلصَّفِّ الْمُقَدَّمِ ثَلاَثًا وَلِلثَّانِي مَرَّةً
