Arabic text

1119 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ضَمْرَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ إِلَى النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ: أَخْبِرْنَا بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مَعَ سُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ قَالَ: «كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ»

Commentary

a. This Hadith tells us that, alongside Surah Al-Jumu'ah, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to recite Surah Al-Ghāshiyah in the Friday prayer, while in the previous Hadith we were told that, in addition to Surah Al-Jumu'ah, he ﷺ used to recite Surah Al-Munāfiqun. The obvious inference, therefore, is that we have a choice in the selection of texts and chapters of the Qur'ān. b. The written word is as dependable as the heard version of a Hadith, provided that we are sure about the authenticity of the source.
