وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ الثِّقَةِ عِنْدَهُ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ وَكَانَ فِي حَجْرِ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
أَنَّ مَيْمُونَةَ كَانَتْ تُصَلِّي فِي الدِّرْعِ وَالْخِمَارِ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ
