حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ - وَأُرَاهُ قَالَ - وَعُثْمَانَ كَانُوا يَقْرَءُونَ (مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ) . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هَذَا الشَّيْخِ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ الرَّمْلِيِّ . وَقَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ الزُّهْرِيِّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ كَانُوا يَقْرَءُونَ (مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ) . وَقَدْ رَوَى عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ كَانُوا يَقْرَءُونَ (مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ).

Anas reported that the Prophet, Abu Bakr, and ‘Umar—and I think the narrator also said ‘Uthman—would recite “Master of the Day of Judgment” (Maliki Yawm al-Din, Qur’an 1:4). Abu ‘Isa graded this report gharib, known from al-Zuhri from Anas only through Ayyub ibn Suwayd al-Ramli. Some of al-Zuhri’s companions transmitted it from al-Zuhri with only the Prophet, Abu Bakr, and ‘Umar mentioned. ‘Abd al-Razzaq also transmitted it from Ma‘mar, from al-Zuhri, from Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib, with the Prophet, Abu Bakr, and ‘Umar reciting it.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic preserves uncertainty only about ‘Uthman’s inclusion (‘I think he said’). The reading Maliki means ‘Master/Owner’ of the Day of Judgment, distinct from malik (‘King’) in the preceding report. Abu ‘Isa notes this Anas route is gharib through Ayyub ibn Suwayd al-Ramli.
