Chapter 7 · Establishing the Prayer and the Sunnah Regarding Themحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُطَّلِبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: سَأَلَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ أُوتِرُ؟، قَالَ: أَوْتِرْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ ، قَالَ: إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يَقُولَ النَّاسُ الْبُتَيْرَاءُ، فَقَالَ: سُنَّةُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ يُرِيدُ هَذِهِ سُنَّةُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
