وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: إِنَّ النَّضْرَ بْنَ شُمَيْلٍ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ لِمِقْسَمٍ: إِنِّي أُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ ثُمَّ أَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: لَا وَتْرَ إِلَّا بِسَبْعٍ أَوْ خَمْسٍ، فَلَقِيتُ مُجَاهِدًا وَيَحْيَى بْنَ الْجَزَّارِ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُمَا، فَقَالَا: سَلْهُ: عَنْ مَنْ ؟ فَقَالَ: عَنِ الثِّقَةِ، عَنِ الثِّقَةِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَمَيْمُونَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
