٢٤٠ - وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ الْحَنَفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مَدًّا». قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْيَمَانِ، وَحَدِيثُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْيَمَانِ خَطَأٌ.
