عن النعمان بن سالم عن عمرو بن أوس عن عنبسة بن أبي سفيان عن أم حبيبة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنها قالت: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «ما من عبد مسلم يصلي لله كل يوم ثنتي عشرة ركعةً تطوعًا غير فريضة إلا بنى الله له بيتًا في الجنة، أو إلا بني له بيت في الجنة» قالت أم حبيبة: فما برحت أصليهن بعد. وقال عمرو: ما برحت أصليهن بعد. وقال النعمان مثل ذلك.رواه مسلم
