الطبراني:١٥٠٨٦حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثَنَا وُهَيْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ أَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِعُقْبَةَ «اقْرَأْ بِهِمَا فِي صَلَاتِكَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَقْرَأُ بِمِثْلِهِمَا يَعْنِي الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ »
