حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الصَّائِغُ، قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ قَالَ: نَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ رُزَيْقٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ:
رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ تَوَضَّأَ فَخَلَّلَ لِحْيَتَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَخَلَّلَ لِحْيَتَهُ
