ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ قَدِمَ الْبَصْرَةَ ، فَحَدَّثَنَا أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ الْوِتْرِ، فَقَالَ : أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِأَعْلَمِ النَّاسِ بِوِتْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قُلْتُ : بَلَى، قَالَ : أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَائِشَةُ ، فَأْتِهَا فَاسْأَلْهَا ثُمَّ ارْجِعْ إِلَيَّ فَحَدِّثْنِي بِمَا تُحَدِّثُكَ.
فَأَتَيْتُ حَكِيمَ بْنَ أَفْلَحَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : انْطَلِقْ مَعِي إِلَى أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَ : إِنِّي لَا آتِيهَا، إِنِّي نَهَيْتُ عَنْ هَاتَيْنِ الشِّيعَتَيْنِ، فَأَبَتْ إِلَّا مُضِيًّا.
قُلْتُ : أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ لَمَا انْطَلَقْتَ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا، فَسَلَّمْنَا، فَعَرَفَتْ صَوْتَ حَكِيمٍ، فَقَالَتْ : مَنْ هَذَا؟ قُلْتُ : سَعْدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ.
قَالَتْ : مَنْ هِشَامٌ؟ قُلْتُ : هِشَامُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ.
قَالَتْ : نِعْمَ الْمَرْءُ، قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ.
قُلْتُ : أَخْبِرِينَا عَنْ خُلُقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
قَالَتْ :" أَلَسْتَ تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ؟ قُلْتُ : بَلَى.
قَالَتْ : فَإِنَّهُ خُلُقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُومَ وَلَا أَسْأَلَ أَحَدًا عَنْ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى أَلْحَقَ بِاللَّهِ، فَعَرَضَ لِي الْقِيَامُ
