أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْرَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ خَرَجَ عُمَرُ - رضى الله عنه - يَوْمَ عِيدٍ فَسَأَلَ أَبَا وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ بِأَىِّ شَىْءٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْرَأُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فَقَالَ بِـ ‏{‏ ق ‏}‏ وَ{‏ اقْتَرَبَتْ ‏}‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Mansur narrated to us; he said: Sufyan informed us; he said: Damrah ibn Sa‘id narrated to me, from ‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Abdullah, who said: ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went out on an Eid day and asked Abu Waqid al-Laythi, “What did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recite on this day?” He replied: “Qaf” and “The Hour has drawn near.”

Translation notes

  • “Qaf” refers to Surah Qaf (50), and “The Hour has drawn near” to Surah al-Qamar (54:1), given here by their opening words.
