Show the chain

قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعَبْدٌ جَمِيعًا: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ نِبْرَاسٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ، قَالَ:

أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ يَمْشِي، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ نُقَارِبُ فِي الْخُطَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ هَذَا لِيَكْثُرَ عَدَدُ خُطَانَا فِي طَلَبِ الصَّلَاةِ
