Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.
bayhaqi:5788Abū Saʿīd b. Abū ʿAmr > Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ṣaffār > Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Birtī > Abū Nuʿaym > ʿĪsá b. Ṭahmān > Thābit al-Bunānī

[Machine] I heard Thabit Al-Bunani say, "Anas used to have a young boy stand behind him with a Quran whenever he stood up to pray. And if he had any confusion about something, he would open it (the Quran) and refer to it."  

البيهقي:٥٧٨٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبِرْتِيُّ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ طَهْمَانَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ ثَابِتًا الْبُنَانِيَّ يَقُولُ كَانَ أَنَسٌ إِذَا قَامَ يُصَلِّي قَامَ خَلْفَهُ غُلَامٌ مَعَهُ مُصْحَفٌ فَإِذَا تَعَايَا فِي شَيْءٍ فَتَحَ عَلَيْهِ
