Ahmad (1/361) likewise transmits it through Qatadah, from Azrah, from Saʿid b. Jubayr, in an abridged form confined to the wording cited in the present section. Its chain is sound according to Muslim’s criteria. Al-Shafiʿi preferred that these two surahs be recited in the Friday prayer, and this remains the dominant view among the jurists, see al-Bidayah (1/128). (1) This report comes from the Companion al-Nuʿman b. Bashir. ʿUbayd Allah b. ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUtbah b. Masʿud related that al-Dahhak b. Qays asked al-Nuʿman b. Bashir, “What did the Messenger of Allah recite on Friday after Surah al-Jumuʿah?” He replied, “He would recite: Hal ataka hadith al-Ghashiyah (Surah al-Ghashiyah).” • Recorded by Malik (1/133–134). • Through Malik this path is also found in Muhammad (135), Abu Dawud (1/175), Nasai (1/210), Darimi (1/367), Tahawi (1/240), and Ahmad (4/270, 277), all via Damrah b. Saʿid al-Mazani from ʿUbayd Allah. • Sufyan b. ʿUyaynah likewise corroborated Damrah; see Muslim (3/16), Ibn Majah (1/345), and Tahawi. • Abu Uways also corroborated in Darimi. Ibn Rushd (1/128) comments: “Malik considered practice upon this hadith preferable,” adding, “As for Abu Hanifah, he did not adopt a definite position on the matter.”
