Sunan an-Nasa'i 1987

Al-Haytham ibn Ayyub informed us, saying: Ibrahim—namely, Ibn Sa‘d—narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, from Talhah ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Awf, who said: I prayed behind Ibn ‘Abbas at a funeral. He recited the Opening of the Book and a surah, raising his voice so that we could hear him. When he finished, I took him by the hand and asked him about it. He said, ‘It is Sunnah and true.’
