1103 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ وَاسْمُهُ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ أَبِي مِسْكِينٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَفْتَرِشْ أَحَدُكُمْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ فِي السُّجُودِ افْتِرَاشَ الْكَلْبِ»

Commentary
