حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَی حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ بِهَذَا قَالَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ سَکْتَتَانِ حَفِظْتُهُمَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِيهِ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ قُلْنَا لِقَتَادَةَ مَا هَاتَانِ السَّکْتَتَانِ قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ الْقِرَائَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدُ وَإِذَا قَالَ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 780
Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub: I remember from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ two periods of silence. Saeed said: We asked Qatadah: What are those two periods of silence? He said: (one) when he began his prayer, and (one) when he finished the recitation. Then he added: When he finished reciting (the closing verse of the Fatihah): "Not of those with whom Thou art angry, nor of who go astray. "
