حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، وَابْنُ السَّرْحِ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، قَالُوا أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي قُرَّةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ نِسَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ الأُوَلَ لَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏ وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ ‏}‏ شَقَقْنَ أَكْنَفَ - قَالَ ابْنُ صَالِحٍ أَكْثَفَ - مُرُوطِهِنَّ فَاخْتَمَرْنَ بِهَا ‏.‏
