الطبراني:٩٦٠٦حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو الْقَطِرَانِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ النَّخَعِيُّ ثنا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

«لَمْ يُوَقَّتْ لَنَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ قِرَاءَةٌ وَلَا قَوْلٌ كَبِّرْ مَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ وَأَكْثِرْ مِنْ طَيِّبِ الْقَوْلِ»
