Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْمَدَنِيُّ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: اسْتَخْلَفَ مَرْوَانُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ. فَخَرَجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ. فَصَلَّى بِنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ، فِي السَّجْدَةِ الأُولَى. وَفِي الآخِرَةِ ‏‏{إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ}‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ: فَأَدْرَكْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ. فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ قَرَأْتَ بِسُورَتَيْنِ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ يَقْرَأُ بِهِمَا بِالْكُوفَةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ. إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقْرَأُ بِهِمَا ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Hatim ibn Ismail al-Madani narrated to us, from Jafar ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Ubaydullah ibn Abi Rafi, who said: Marwan appointed Abu Hurayrah as governor over Medina, then he went to Mecca. Abu Hurayrah led us in the Friday prayer and recited Surah al-Jumuah in the first rakah and, in the last, “When the hypocrites come to you.” Ubaydullah said: I caught up with Abu Hurayrah after he had finished and said to him, You recited two surahs that Ali used to recite in Kufa. Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah recite them.
