البيهقي:٢٤٦٩ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْمُقْرِئُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّائِغُ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ ثنا عَفَّانُ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ أنبأ حَنْظَلَةُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهِمَا إِلَّا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ
