Sunan an-Nasa'i 1590
أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، قُلْتُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ نَعَمْ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْرَأُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْعِيدِ بِـ { سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى } وَ { هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ } وَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَ الْجُمُعَةُ وَالْعِيدُ فِي يَوْمٍ قَرَأَ بِهِمَا .
Muhammad ibn Qudamah reported to me, from Jarir, from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn al-Muntashir. I asked, “From his father?” He replied, “Yes, from Habib ibn Salim, from al-Nu‘man ibn Bashir.” He said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite on Friday and Eid: “Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High” and “Has the account of the Overwhelming reached you?” When Friday and Eid fell on the same day, he would recite both of them.
Translation notes
The source includes a brief first-person exchange about whether the report is from Ibrahim’s father; it does not identify the speaker of ‘I asked’ explicitly, so the wording is retained without assigning a name. The quoted phrases are the opening words of Surah al-A‘la (87:1) and Surah al-Ghashiyah (88:1).
قُلْتُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ،
The first-person ‘I asked’ is not explicitly attributed to a named speaker in the source wording.
