النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِمَعْنَاهُ ، زَادَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا رُخْصَةً لَهُ خَاصَّةً ، فَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بُدٌّ مِنَ التَّكْفِيرِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : رَوَاهُ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، والْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، وَمَنْصُورُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ ، وَعِرَاكُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، عَلَى مَعْنَى ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، زَادَ فِيهِ الأَوْزَاعِيُّ : وَاسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ .
