أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا غَلَبَ قَوْمًا أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ بِعَرْصَتِهِمْ ثَلَاثًا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى «أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِعَرْصَتِهِمْ ثَلَاثًا»
