أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الْعُكْلِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ نُجَىٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ كَانَ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَدْخَلاَنِ مَدْخَلٌ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمَدْخَلٌ بِالنَّهَارِ فَكُنْتُ إِذَا دَخَلْتُ بِاللَّيْلِ تَنَحْنَحَ لِي ‏.‏
