أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَاهُمْ أَنْ يَطْرُقُوا النِّسَاءَ لَيْلاً . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . - وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَاهُمْ أَنْ يَطْرُقُوا النِّسَاءَ لَيْلاً قَالَ فَطَرَقَ رَجُلاَنِ بَعْدَ نَهْىِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَوَجَدَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً .
