أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْبَيْتَ وَمَعَهُ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ وَبِلاَلٌ فَأَجَافُوا عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَابَ فَمَكَثَ فِيهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ . قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ كَانَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ لَقِيتُ بِلاَلاً قُلْتُ أَيْنَ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ الأُسْطُوَانَتَيْنِ .
