أَخْبَرَنَا خَلِيفَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ :" بِالْأَقْرَاءِ "، قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد : أَهْلُ الْحِجَازِ ، يَقُولُونَ : " الْأَقْرَاءُ : الْأَطْهَارُ "، وَقَالَ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ : هُوَ الْحَيْضُ ، قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ : وَأَنَا أَقُولُ : " هُوَ الْحَيْضُ "
