2029 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، وَعَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا - زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتْ: وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «لَيُدْخِلُ عَلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ وَهُوَ فِي المَسْجِدِ، فَأُرَجِّلُهُ، وَكَانَ لاَ يَدْخُلُ البَيْتَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةٍ إِذَا كَانَ مُعْتَكِفًا»
