عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَحُكُّ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَاحِفِهِ وَيَقُولُ إِنَّهُمَا لَيْسَتَا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ وَحَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَأَلْنَا عَنْهُمَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لِي فَقُلْتُ
It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Yazid that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) would erase the Mu'awwidhatayn from his mushaf and would say that these are not from the Book of Allah. A'mash says: Asim narrated to us from Zirr that Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about them, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It was said to me, so I said it.
