حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ - حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، أَنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا طَاوُسٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ فِي التَّهَجُّدِ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ مَا يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ ‏.‏
