Muslim narrated it in the Hajj chapter (1218) via Hatim bin Ismail Madani, from Jafar bin Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir, relating it at length in describing the Hajj of the Prophet ﷺ. This is how Hatim bin Ismail narrated it, from Jafar bin Muhammad, from his father Muhammad, with uncertainty regarding whether the Prophet ﷺ recited the two surahs in the two rakats.There is a difference of narration regarding Jafar bin Muhammad, for Sulayman bin Bilal narrated it from him with certainty, attributing it directly to the Prophet. Likewise, Malik narrated it with certainty, in the narration of Walid bin Muslim from him, from Jafar bin Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir, and he related it. Nasai recorded it (2963) with a sahih isnad, as Ishbili said in Jam bayn Sahihayn (2/246), and from him Ibn Abdul-Barr in Tamhid (24/413), via Amr bin Uthman bin Saeed bin Kathir bin Dinar, from Walid, from Malik, with his isnad. Likewise, Qanabi narrated it from Malik with certainty, as Bayhaqi also recorded it (5/91).Likewise, Hafs bin Ghiyath narrated it with certainty, from Jafar, from his father, from Jabir. Ibn Abu Shayba narrated it (4/110), and from him Ibn Abdul-Barr in Tamhid (24/416). Likewise, Abdul-Aziz bin Imran narrated it with certainty, from Jafar bin Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited in the two rakats of tawaf Surah Ikhlas, "Say, He is Allah, the One" [Ikhlas 112:1] and "Say, O disbelievers" [Kafirun 109:1]. Tirmidhi narrated it (869) from Abu Musab Madani, by way of recitation, from Abdul-Aziz bin Imran, and related it.He also said, Hannad told us, Waki told us, from Sufyan, from Jafar bin Muhammad, from his father, that he used to recommend reciting in the two rakats of tawaf "Say, He is Allah, the One" [Ikhlas 112:1] and "Say, O disbelievers" [Kafirun 109:1]. Tirmidhi said, This is more sahih than the hadith of Abdul-Aziz bin Imran, and the hadith of Jafar bin Muhammad from his father on this matter is more sahih than the hadith of Jafar bin Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir, from the Prophet ﷺ. Abdul-Aziz bin Imran is daif in hadith. End quote.Imam Ahmad narrated it (14440) from Yahya bin Saeed Qattan, from him, and in it, Abu Abdullah, meaning Jafar, said, He recited in them the declaration of Allah's oneness, "Say, He is Allah, the One" [Ikhlas 112:1] and "Say, O disbelievers" [Kafirun 109:1].His statement, He recited in them, could mean that the subject was the Prophet ﷺ, and this is the apparent meaning, because it is joined to his statement, Then he touched the Black Stone, and went out to Safa, then recited "Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the rites of Allah" [Baqarah 2:158], then said, We begin with what Allah began with, and so on in the hadith. For this entire action was performed by the Prophet ﷺ, and it makes no sense to attribute part of it to the action of Jafar's father, who is Muhammad bin Ali bin Husayn Baqir, with the rest belonging to the Prophet ﷺ.But Abu Dawud narrated it (1909) from the hadith of Yahya bin Saeed Qattan, and said, He inserted into the hadith, at his statement "And take from the standing place of Ibrahim a place of prayer" [Baqarah 2:125], he said, He recited in them the declaration of Allah's oneness, and "Say, O disbelievers". And he said in it, Ali said in Kufa. My father said, Jabir did not mention this phrase, so I went instigating, and he mentioned the story of Fatimah . End quote.Abu Dawud thus affirmed that Yahya bin Saeed Qattan had inserted material into the hadith. Likewise Khatib said in Mudraj (2/671) that Yahya bin Saeed used to insert phrases into his narration and present them as attributed to the Prophet, and he specifically mentioned the recitation of these two surahs in this hadith, saying, It is only a report of Jafar bin Muhammad from his father, as Abu Uways made clear regarding Jafar. Likewise Wahib narrated it, from Ibn Jurayj, from Jafar, from his father, and both of them said, This was not mentioned in the hadith of Jabir.Then Khatib presented the narration of Abu Uways bin Abdullah, from Jafar bin Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir, in which he said, Jafar said, He used to recite in them "Say, He is Allah, the One" [Ikhlas 112:1] and "Say, O disbelievers" [Kafirun 109:1]. I say, the narration of Abu Uways does not differ from the narration of Yahya bin Saeed Qattan in leaving the subject unspecified, and the context is the same.As for the narration of Wahib bin Khalid, Abu Dawud Tayalisi recorded it in his Musnad (1773), and Khatib in Mudraj (2/672) from him, from Jafar bin Muhammad bin Ali bin Husayn bin Ali bin Abu Talib, from his father, from Jabir. In it, And he prayed two rakats. My father said, He used to recommend reciting in them the declaration of Allah's oneness, "Say, He is Allah, the One" [Ikhlas 112:1] and "Say, O disbelievers" [Kafirun 109:1], and he did not attribute this to Jabir, then he returned to the hadith of Jabir and related it.Jafar's statement, It is recommended to recite in them, contains an indication that it is attributed to the Prophet, and that is why he recommended it, for recommendation is a legal ruling that is established only by legal text, as is established in the science of legal theory.As for the narration of Ibn Jurayj from Jafar bin Muhammad, it agrees with the narration of Wahib, as Khatib said, presenting it with its isnad, in which, My father said, and in them is recited the declaration of Allah's oneness, "Say, He is Allah, the One" [Ikhlas 112:1] and "Say, O disbelievers" [Kafirun 109:1]. And he related the rest of the hadith. His statement, and in them is recited the declaration of Allah's oneness, is phrased in the passive voice, containing an indication of the recommendation of reciting these two surahs.In summary, the recitation of these two surahs has been narrated as definitely attributed to the Prophet, narrated with uncertainty, and narrated ambiguously without specifying the subject, and certain knowledge takes precedence over doubt, or as it is said, certainty is not removed by doubt.Perhaps Muslim, may Allah have mercy on him, held this view as well, since he recorded it in his Sahih from the long hadith of Jabir, through the narration of Hatim bin Ismail, exactly as he heard it, and had he not considered this established, he would have omitted this part of the hadith, as was his habit, a matter known through inductive study. Allah knows best.It has also been narrated, with an isnad containing a gap of more than one missing narrator, from Yaqub bin Zayd, who said, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited in the two rakats of tawaf "Say, He is Allah, the One" [Ikhlas 112:1] and "Say, O disbelievers" [Kafirun 109:1]. Ibn Abu Umar narrated it, Waki told us, from Musa bin Ubayda, from Yaqub bin Zayd, and he related it. Ibn Abu Shayba narrated it (4/110). Hafiz included it in Matalib Aliyah (1227) and said, This report omits the Companion link, and Musa is daif. Allah knows best.
