أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَدَعُ أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَرَکْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا الصَّوَابُ عِنْدَنَا وَحَدِيثُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَرَ خَطَأٌ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَی أَعْلَمُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1763
It was narrated from Ibrahim bin Muhammad that he heard his father narrating that he heard ‘Aishah say: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم would not omit four Rak’ahs before Zuhr and two Rak’ahs before Fajr. (Sahih) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: This is what is correct, in our view, and the narration of ‘Uthman bin ‘Umar is a mistake, and Allah, Most High knows best.
