حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ ثَوْبَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي حَسَّانُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ ، أَنَّ أَبَا كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِيّ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" سَدِّدُوا، وَقَارِبُوا، وَخَيْرُ أَعْمَالِكُمْ الصَّلَاةُ، وَلَنْ يُحَافِظَ عَلَى الْوُضُوءِ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ "
