Arabic text

2369 - أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: «أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَكْعَتَيِ الضُّحَى، وَأَنْ لَا أَنَامَ إِلَّا عَلَى وِتْرٍ، وَصِيَامِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ»
