1317 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: أَيَّ حِينٍ كَانَ يُصَلِّي؟ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصُّرَاخَ، قَامَ فَصَلَّى»
