حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ
قَالَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُونَ أَخَذَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ الصَّلَاةَ مِنْ عَطَاءٍ وَأَخَذَهَا عَطَاءٌ مِنْ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَأَخَذَهَا ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأَخَذَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَحْسَنَ صَلَاةً مِنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ
The people of Makkah say: Ibn Juraij learned the prayer from Ata and Ata learned it from Ibn Az-Zubayr and Ibn Az-Zubayr learned it from Abu Bakr and Abu Bakr learned it from the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). I have never seen anyone who prays better than Ibn Juraij. This is a report praising Ibn Juraij and is not a hadeeth; this was stated by Ahmad Shakir.
