Book 8, Hadith 28
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ الْمَخْزُومِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، يَقُولُ الصَّلاَةُ الْوُسْطَى صَلاَةُ الظُّهْرِ ‏.‏
Yahya related to me from Malik from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn that Ibn Yarbu al-Makhzumi said, "I heard Zayd ibn Thabit say, 'The middle prayer is the prayer of dhuhr.' "
