3.	We were told by Ali bin Abdullah al-Warraq, and Ali bin Muhammed bin Hasan al-Qazwini, that they both said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Abi Khalaf al-Ash’ari, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Dawud, from Abu Dahr, from Malik bin Anas, from Zaid bin Aslam, from Amru bin Nafe’, that he said: I was writing the book (which contained the Qur’an) from Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, and she said: If you reach this verse, then write: «Maintain the prayers, and (in particular) the middle prayer and the prayer of the afternoon».
