( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَنْبَأَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنْبَأَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ. وَعَنْ مَوْلًى لَهُمْ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَا:
يَقْرَأُ الْإِمَامُ وَمَنْ خَلْفَهُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ، وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ
