3198 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ، فَقَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهَا مِنَ السُّنَّةِ»

Commentary
When a Companion says: “This is the Sunnah” or similar saying, it means this is the Sunnah of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ, so even though it is a statement of a Companion, its ruling is as if it was said by the Prophet ﷺ.
