Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْفَاكِهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْفَاكِهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَيَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَيَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَيَوْمَ النَّحْرِ قَالَ وَكَانَ الْفَاكِهُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُ بِالْغُسْلِ فِي هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ.
