Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي يَا أَبَةِ صَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَخَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَعَلِيٍّ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ قَنَتَ قَالَ مُحْدَثًا يَا بُنَيَّ
