أخبرنا أبو عمرو
الفراتي قال أخبرنا أبو موسي قال أخبرنا مكي بن عيدان قال
حدثنا سليمان بن داود قال حدثنا أحمد بن نصر قال حدثنا أبو
معاذ عن أبي عصمة نوح بن أبي مريم عن زيد العمي عن أبي نصرة عن
ابن عباس عن أبي بن كعب عن النبي صلي اللّٰه عليه وسلم قال من
قرأ المعوذتين فكأنما قرأ الكتب التي أنزلها اللّٰه تعالي
كلها.
