أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي ثُمَّ أُدْرِكُ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ أَفَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ نَعَمْ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَيَّتُهُمَا أَجْعَلُ صَلَاتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ؟ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى يَجْعَلُ أَيَّتَهُمَا شَاءَ
