[Machine] He arrived in the city during the caliphate of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq and prayed behind him the Maghrib prayer. Abu Bakr recited in the first two units from the mother of the Quran and a short surah. Then, in the third unit, he stood up and I approached him until my clothes were almost touching his clothes. I heard him recite from the mother of the Quran and this verse, "Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower" [Al-Imran 8].

أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي خِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ فَصَلَّى وَرَاءَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَرَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ مِنْ قِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى إِنَّ ثِيَابِي تَكَادُ أَنْ تَمَسَّ ثِيَابَهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ قَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ} [آل عمران 8]

[Machine] He arrived in the city during the caliphate of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, and he prayed behind Abu Bakr al-Maghrib. Abu Bakr recited in the first two units of prayer from the mother of the Quran and a surah from the shorter, detailed ones. Then he stood for the third unit of prayer and I approached him until my clothes almost touched his clothes. I heard him recite from the mother of the Quran and this verse: "Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower" [Al-Imran 8]. Abu Sa'id added in his narration, Shafi'i said and Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah said, when 'Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz heard this from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, he said, "If I hadn't heard this before, I would have taken it."

أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي خِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ فَصَلَّى وَرَاءَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَرَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ سُورَةٍ مِنْ قِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى إِنَّ ثِيَابِي لَتَكَادُ أَنْ تَمَسَّ ثِيَابَهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ قَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ} [آل عمران 8] زَادَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بِهَذَا عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ قَالَ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَعَلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ بِهَذَا فَأَخَذْتُ بِهِ

"عَنْ أَبِى عَبْدِ الله الصُّنَابِحىَّ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فِى خِلَافَةِ أَبِى بَكْرٍ الصَّديق، فَصَلَّى وَراءَ أَبِى بَكْرٍ الصَّدَّيقِ الْمَغْرِبَ، فَقَرَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ بِأُمَّ الْقرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ مِنْ قِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأ فِى الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ بِأُمَّ الْقُرْآنِ وَبِهِذِهِ الآيَةِ: {رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ}.
