حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، وَأَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :" أَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ بَعْدَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ الْمُحَرَّمُ "
