حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شَدَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِمَ تَحْتَبِسُونَ عَنْ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ سَمِعْتُ النِّدَاءَ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْتُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَأَيْضًا أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ إِذَا رَاحَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ الْمُعَلِّمُ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَيْنَا هُوَ يَخْطُبُ فَذَكَرَهُ‏.‏
