Ibn Khuzaymah categorized one particular attributed to Anas (RA) as saḥiḥ and al-Tirmidhī classified one narration as ḥasan, while others relied on the report of Ibn Abbās. كان رسولُ اللهِ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلم يصلِّي ركعتينِ بعد الوِترِ وهو جالسٌ يقرأُ فيهما ب { إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ . . . ) و{ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ ).
