Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْعَطَّارُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَحْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيُّ، قَالَ لَمَّا بَعَثْنَا الرَّكْبَ - قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَعْنِي إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ - كُنْتُ أَقُصُّ بَعْدَ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ فَأَسْجُدُ فَنَهَانِي ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ أَنْتَهِ ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ - رضى الله عنهم - فَلَمْ يَسْجُدُوا حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ ‏.‏

Translation

Abd Allah ibn al-Sabbah al-Attar narrated to us: Abu Bahr narrated to us: Thabit ibn Umarah narrated to us: Abu Tamimah al-Hujaymi narrated to us, who said: When we sent the caravan—Abu Dawud said, meaning to Medina—I used to tell stories after the dawn prayer and then prostrate. Ibn Umar forbade me, but I did not stop, three times. Then he came back and said: I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and with Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them), and they did not prostrate until the sun had risen.
