حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، وَمُوسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُقْبَةَ ، وَعَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُوتِرُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ ، وَيُصَلِّي التَّطَوُّعَ عَلَيْهَا حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَتْ بِهِ يُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ إِيمَاءً " .
