حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعِ سُوَرٍ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ، وَ إِنَّا أَنْـزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، وَ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الأَرْضُ، وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ: الْعَصْرُ، وَ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَالْفَتْحُ، وَ إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ، وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ، وَ تَبَّتْ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
رفعه إسرائيل ووقفه زهير فأيهما أشبه بالصواب موقوف أو مرفوع قال الله أعلم يقال إن زهير سمع من أبي إسحاق بأخرة وإسرائيل سماعه من أبي إسحاق قديم وأبو إسحاق بأخرة اختلط فكل من سمع منه بأخرة فليس سماعه بأجود ما يكون
machine translationIsrāʾīl narrated it as raised to the Prophet (marfūʿ) and Zuhayr narrated it as stopped at the Companion (mawqūf). Which of them is closer to the correct view: stopped (mawqūf) or raised (marfūʿ)? He said: God knows best. It is said that Zuhayr heard from Abū Isḥāq late, whereas Isrāʾīl's hearing from Abū Isḥāq was early, and Abū Isḥāq became confused late in life. So whoever heard from him late, his hearing is not of the best quality.
