أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ
مَا لِي أَرَاكَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ السُّوَرِ؟ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِطُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ مَا طُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ قَالَ «الْأَعْرَافُ»
