[Machine] The last words that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me when he appointed me to the Ta'if were: "Lighten the prayer on the people until you reach the time when you say, 'Subhanaka Rabbi al-A'la (Glory be to my Lord the Most High),' and recite in the name of your Lord who created everything and its likeness from the Quran."  

الطبراني:٨٣٥٣ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْأَزْدِيُّ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ثنا زَائِدَةُ عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ أَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ قَالَ

آخِرُ كَلَامٍ كَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذِ اسْتَعْمَلَنِي عَلَى الطَّائِفِ قَالَ «خَفِّفِ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى النَّاسِ حَتَّى وَقَّتَ سَبَّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَاقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ وَأَشْبَاهَهَا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ»
