قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، ثَنَا حَمَّادٌ هُوَ ابْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَا مَعْبَدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا فُلَانٌ، وَهُوَ فِي مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ:
إِنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ ؓ جَلَسَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثٍ قَبْلَهُ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَمَا الصَّلَاةُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « خَيْرٌ مَوْضُوعٌ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَقَلَّ مِنْهُ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَكْثَرَ
