وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ثَنَا عِيسَى هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا قَرَأَ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ سَرَقَ آخِرَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « إِذَا قَرَأَ أَوَّلَهُ حَجَزَهُ آخِرُهُ أَنْ يَسْرِقَ بِغَلَسٍ
