النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ كَثِيرٍ هُوَ ابْنُ شِنْظِيرٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

خَمِّرُوا الْآنِيَةَ ، وَأَجِيفُوا الْأَبْوَابَ ، وَأَطْفِئُوا الْمَصَابِيحَ ، فَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ رُبَّمَا جَرَّتِ الْفَتِيلَةَ ، فَأَحْرَقَتْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ
