Al-Qaʿnabi narrated to us: Malik narrated to us, from ʿAmir ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, from ʿAmr ibn Sulaym al-Zuraqi, from Abu Qatadah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘When one of you comes to the mosque, let him pray two units of prayer before sitting down.’
