النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَرَجُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ فِي مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ بَصَقَ عَلَى الْبُورِيِّ ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : لِمَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : "
لِأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُهُ
