613 - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، وَأَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْفَلَّاسُ، وَمُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُحِلُّ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو السَّمْحِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ قَالَ: «وَلِّنِي» فَأُوَلِّيهِ قَفَايَ، وَأَنْشُرُ الثَّوْبَ، فَأَسْتُرُهُ بِهِ
