Arabic text

2949 - وَعَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، كَانَ يَقُولُ: «لَقَلَّمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْرُجُ، إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي سَفَرٍ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الخَمِيسِ»
