حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُونَ أَخَذَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ الصَّلَاةَ مِنْ عَطَاءٍ وَأَخَذَهَا عَطَاءٌ مِنْ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَأَخَذَهَا ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأَخَذَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَحْسَنَ صَلَاةً مِنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 73
'Abdur-Razzaq said: The people of Makkah say: Ibn Juraij learned the prayer from 'Ata' and 'Ata' learned it from Ibn az- Zubair and Ibn az-Zubair learned it from Abu Bakr and Abu Bakr learned it from the Prophet I have never seen anyone who prays better than Ibn Juraij.
