حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ يَعْنِي زُهَيْرَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ عَنْ مُسَّةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَتْ النُّفَسَاءُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَقْعُدُ بَعْدَ نِفَاسِهَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً شَكَّ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ وَكُنَّا نَطْلِي عَلَى وُجُوهِنَا الْوَرْسَ مِنْ الْكَلَفِ.
