البيهقي:٢٩٥١وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حَيَّانَ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رُسْتَهْ ثنا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ثنا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ إبْرَاهِيْمَ ثنا عَاصِمُ ابْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي

هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يَأْمُرَانِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَفِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَكَانتْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ جِمَاعَةٍ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ اقْرَأْ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ
