حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ، فِي رَكْعَتَىِ الطَّوَافِ بِـ ( قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ ) وَ ( قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ) . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ وَحَدِيثُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ فِي هَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَعَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ضَعِيفٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ .

Hannad narrated to us: Waki' narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father, that he used to recommend reciting ‘Say: O disbelievers’ and ‘Say: He is Allah, the One’ in the two rak'ahs of tawaf.
Abu Isa said: This is more reliable than the hadith of Abd al-Aziz ibn Imran. The report from Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father, is more reliable on this topic than the report from Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir, from the Prophet. Abd al-Aziz ibn Imran is weak in hadith.
