قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زَنْجُوَيْهِ، حدثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، أخبرنا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
قَالَ: " ثَلَاثٌ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ: أَنْ يَحْتَلِمَ الرَّجُلُ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْبَارِدَةِ فَيَقُومَ فَيَغْتَسِلَ لَا يَرَاهُ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَالصَّوْمُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْحَارِّ، وَصَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي الْأَرْضِ الْفَلَاةِ لَا يَرَاهُ إِلَّا اللهُ "
