حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

لَا تَجْلِسُوا عَلَى الْقُبُورِ ، وَلَا تُصَلُّوا إِلَيْهَا
