حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، وَمَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الشَّمْسِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ مَخْلَدٌ ‏"‏ فِي الْفَىْءِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ‏"‏ فَقَلَصَ عَنْهُ الظِّلُّ وَصَارَ بَعْضُهُ فِي الشَّمْسِ وَبَعْضُهُ فِي الظِّلِّ فَلْيَقُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
AbulQasim (ﷺ) said: When one of you is in the sun (Shams)--Makhlad's version has "fay'"--and the shadow withdraws from him so that he is partly in sun and partly in shade, he should get up.
