حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، - وَلَيْسَ بِالنَّهْدِيِّ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ اقْرَءُوهَا عِنْدَ مَوْتَاكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي ‏{يس}‏ ‏.‏

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Shaqiq narrated to us, from Ibn al-Mubarak, from Sulayman al-Taymi, from Abu Uthman—not al-Nahdi—from his father, from Ma‘qil ibn Yasar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Recite it near your dying ones,’ meaning Surah Ya-Sin.
