Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)'s scribe, Ubaydullah bin Abi Rafi', says: Marwan used to appoint Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) as the deputy of Madinah Munawwarah. Once, he appointed him as his deputy in this way, so he led the Friday prayer and recited Surah al-Jumu'ah and Surah al-Munafiqun in it. When he finished, I went to his side and said to him: O Abu Hurairah! The two surahs you recited, Sayyiduna Ali (peace be upon him) also used to recite them. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: My beloved Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) also recited these surahs.
