أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَی جَنَازَةٍ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْکِتَابِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ تَقْرَأُ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّهُ حَقٌّ وَسُنَّةٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1994
It was narrated that Talhah bin ‘Abdullah said: “I offered the funeral prayer behind Ibn ‘Abbas and I heard him reciting Fatiah Al Kitab. When he finished I took him by the hand and asked him: ‘Did you recite?’ He said: ‘Yes, it is the truth and the Sunnah.” (Sahih)
