حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ بِمَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْعِيدِ قَالَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِقَافْ وَ اقْتَرَبَتْ.

'Abd al-Rahman b. Mahdi told us, Malik told us, from Damrah b. Sa'id, from 'Ubaydullah b. 'Abdullah, that 'Umar b. al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, asked Abu Waqid al-Laythi what the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to recite on the [two] festivals. He said: "He used to recite Qaf and Iqtarabat (The Hour has drawn near)."
