ابن ماجة:١١٢٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ عَنْ مُبَشِّرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَرْكَعُ مِنْ قَبْلِ الْجُمُعَةِ أَرْبَعًا لاَ يَفْصِلُ فِي شَىْءٍ مِنْهُنَّ
