البيهقي:٢٤٧٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثنا مِسْعَرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ الْفَقِيرُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ يَقُولُ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ يَعْنِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ قَالَ وَكُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّهُ لَا
