Samura b. Jundub said that he remembered from God's Messenger two periods of silence, one when he said the <i>takbir</i>, and one when he finished reciting, “Not of those with whom You are angry, nor of those who go astray,”* and Ubayy b, Ka‘b corroborated him. *Al-Qur’an, 1:7 Abu Dawud transmitted it, and Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Darimi transmitted something similar.

وَعَن سَمُرَة بن جُنْدُب: أَنَّهُ حَفِظَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَكْتَتَيْنِ: سَكْتَةً إِذَا كَبَّرَ وَسَكْتَةً إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ (غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالّين) فَصَدَّقَهُ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وروى التِّرْمِذِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه والدارمي نَحوه
