حدثنا علي بن عبد الله الوراق، وعلي بن محمد بن الحسن القزويني، قالا حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله بن أبي خلف، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن أبي خلف الأشعري، قال: حدثنا سعد بن داود، عن مالك بن أنس، عن زيد بن أسلم، عن القعقاع بن حكيم، عن أبي يونس مولى عائشة زوجة النبي صلى الله عليه وآله قال: أمرتني عائشة أن اكتب لها مصحفا وقالت: إذا بلغت هذه الآية فاكتب " حافظوا على الصلوات والصلاة الوسطى (وصلاة العصر) وقوموا لله قانتين " ثم قالت عائشة: سمعتها والله من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله.


4. We were told by Ali bin Abdullah al-Warraq, and Ali bin Muhammed bin Hasan al-Qazwini, that they both said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah bin Abi Khalaf, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Abi Khalaf al-Ash’ari, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Dawud, from Malik bin Anas, from Zaid bin Aslam, from Qa’qa’ bin Hukaim, from Abu Yunus, the servant of Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, that he said: Aisha ordered me to write for her a book (containing the Qur’an), and she said: If you reach this verse, then write: «Maintain the prayers, and (in particular) the middle prayer and the prayer of the afternoon», and stand before Allah, devoutly obedient.» (2:238) Then Aisha said: I heard it, by Allah, from the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family.
