446 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِمْيَرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْمَعَافِرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ، عَنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ فَخَلَّلَ أَصَابِعَ رِجْلَيْهِ بِخِنْصِرِهِ» قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَازِمُ بْنُ يَحْيَي الْحُلْوَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
