أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي يُونُسَ، مَوْلَى عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ أَمَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ لَهَا مُصْحَفًا فَقَالَتْ إِذَا بَلَغْتَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ فَآذِنِّي { حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلاَةِ الْوُسْطَى } فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُهَا آذَنْتُهَا فَأَمْلَتْ عَلَىَّ حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلاَةِ الْوُسْطَى وَصَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ . ثُمَّ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
Qutaybah informed us, from Malik, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from al-Qa‘qa‘ ibn Hakim, from Abu Yunus, the client of ‘A’ishah, the Prophet’s wife, who said: ‘A’ishah instructed me to write a muṣḥaf for her. She said: “When you reach this verse, let me know: ‘Guard the prayers, and the middle prayer.’” When I reached it, I let her know, and she dictated to me: “Guard the prayers, and the middle prayer, and the ‘Asr prayer; and stand before Allah devoutly.” Then she said: “I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.”
Translation notes
The Arabic block includes the additional phrase “and the ‘Asr prayer” in what ‘A’ishah dictated. The English witness’s separate verse reference footnote is not part of the Arabic block and has not been imported.
