1161 - أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى السِّجْزِيُّ، يُعْرَفُ بِخَيَّاطِ السُّنَّةِ نَزَلَ بِدِمَشْقَ أَحَدُ الثِّقَاتِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَخْرَمَةُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَامِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الثِّنْتَيْنِ أَوْ فِي الْأَرْبَعِ يَضَعُ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ»
