أَخْبَرَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَی جَنَازَةٍ فَقَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْکِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَجَهَرَ حَتَّی أَسْمَعَنَا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ سُنَّةٌ وَحَقٌّ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1993
It was narrated that Talhah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Awf said: “I offered the funeral prayer behind Ibn ‘Abbas. He recited Fatihah Al Kitab and a Sarah, which he recited loudly, such that we could hear him. When he finished I took him by the hand and asked him. He said: ‘(It is) Sunnah and the truth.” (Sahih)
