وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَعُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ ، وَأَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كَانُوا يَتَنَفَّلُونَ فِي السَّفَرِ . ¤ قَالَ يَحْيَى: وَسُئِلَ مَالِك عَنِ النَّافِلَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ ، وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ بَعْضَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ
