حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلاً، بَدَوِيًّا أَعْرَابِيًّا يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَرْوِيهِ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَرَأَ : (والتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ ) فَقَرَأ : ( ألََيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ ) فَلْيَقُلْ بَلَى وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ إِنَّمَا يُرْوَى بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ هَذَا الأَعْرَابِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَلاَ يُسَمَّى .
Ismail bin Umayyah Narrated from:
I Heard A Bedouin Man Saying: ‘I Heard Abu Hurairah Saying: “Whoever Recited Surat ‘By At-Tim And Az-Zamzam’ Then He Recited: ‘Is Not Allah The Best Of Judges?’ Then Let Him Say: ‘Of Course, And I Am A Witness To That.’”

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3347
This hadith about saying Bala after Surah At-Tin gives a short recitation practice. Abu Hurairah narrated that whoever recites Surah At-Tin and reaches the verse, Is not Allah the Best of Judges, should say, Of course, and I am a witness to that. The hadith is focused on a response to a specific verse. It does not discuss a full prayer ruling in this text, nor does it add a long explanation of the surah.
