ذِكْرُ قِرَاءَةِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى}

[Machine] He used to transcribe the Qur'an during the time of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ . Hafsah wrote down a copy for me and said, "When you reach this verse from Surah Al-Baqarah, do not write it until you come to me with it. I will dictate it to you as I learned it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So when I reached that verse, I came to her with the paper on which I had written it. She said, "Write 'Guard the prayers and the middle prayer' and 'And stand before Allah in obedience'" (Quran 2:238).  

ابن حبّان:٦٣٢٣أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى* قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَنَافِعٌ أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ حَدَّثَهُمَا

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْ تُبُ الْمَصَاحِفَ فِي عَهْدِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَاسْتَكْتَبَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ مُصْحَفًا وَقَالَتْ «إِذَا بَلَغْتَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فَلَا تَكْتُبْهَا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي بِهَا فَأُمِلَّهَا عَلَيْكَ كَمَا حَفِظْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ» قَالَ فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُهَا جِئْتُهَا بِالْوَرَقَةِ الَّتِي أَكْتُبُهَا فَقَالَتِ «اكْتُبْ {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى} وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ {وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ} »
