حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا، يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ السَّيْلَحِينِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ ‏"‏ مَتَى تُوتِرُ ‏"‏ قَالَ أُوتِرُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ . وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ ‏"‏ مَتَى تُوتِرُ ‏"‏ . قَالَ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ . فَقَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ ‏"‏ أَخَذَ هَذَا بِالْحَزْمِ ‏"‏ . وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ ‏"‏ أَخَذَ هَذَا بِالْقُوَّةِ ‏"‏ .
