حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْغَزَّالُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، وَمَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ بِهَذَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا ‏"‏ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ فِرَاشَكَ طَاهِرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ الآخَرُ ‏"‏ تَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلاَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ مَعْنَى مُعْتَمِرٍ
