who said about Muḥammad ibn Kaʿb: I heard ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd ... so take heed, O people of insight! This researcher's actions reminded me of what some Ḥanafīs did with the authentic ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) led us in ẓuhr or ʿaṣr prayer, then ended the prayer after two rakʿahs ... - the ḥadīth - and it includes the story of Dhū al-Yadayn and his (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) completion of the prayer after saying: "Is Dhū al-Yadayn speaking the truth?"

I say: ʿAbdān ibn Aḥmad—who is al-Ahwāzī—is a trustworthy memorizer. He was followed by Imām al-Nasāʾī who said in "his Sunan" (1/154): al-Faḍl ibn Sahl narrated to us with a more complete version, and his wording: I observed the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) twenty times reciting in the two rakʿahs after maghrib, and in the two rakʿahs before fajr ... and he mentioned the two sūrahs
