وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ مَا أُبَالِي لَوْ أُقِيمَتْ صَلاَةُ الصُّبْحِ وَأَنَا أُوتِرُ، ‏.‏

وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيُخَفِّفُ رَكْعَتَىِ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَقُولُ أَقَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ أَمْ لاَ
