ahmad:3958Hishām b. ʿAbd al-Malik > Abū ʿAwānah > Ḥuṣayn > Ibrāhīm > Nahīk b. Sinān al-Sulamī > Atá ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd

[Machine] Is this like this poem or prose like the prose of Ad-Daqal? It was detailed for you to detail. I have known the similarities that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ memorized twenty surahs, Al-Rahman and An-Najm, according to Ibn Mas'ud's compilation, every two surahs in one unit of prayer, and he mentioned Ad-Dukhan and 'Amma Yatasa'alun in one unit of prayer.  

أحمد:٣٩٥٨حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ نَهِيكِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ السُّلَمِيِّ أَنَّهُ أَتَى عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ قَرَأْتُ الْمُفَصَّلَ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ

هَذًّا مِثْلَ هَذِّ الشِّعْرِ أَوْ نَثْرًا مِثْلَ نَثْرِ الدَّقَلِ؟ إِنَّمَا فُصِّلَ لِتُفَصِّلُوا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرُنُ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً الرَّحْمَنُ وَالنَّجْمُ عَلَى تَأْلِيفِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ كُلُّ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ وَذَكَرَ الدُّخَانَ وَعَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ
