Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَمْرٍو ح وَحَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، - وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ - عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ الصَّلاَةَ، كَانَتْ تُقَامُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَأْخُذُ النَّاسُ مَقَامَهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏

Translation

Mahmud ibn Khalid narrated to us: al-Walid narrated to us—Abu ʿAmr said so. And Dawud ibn Rushayd narrated to us: al-Walid narrated to us—this is his wording—from al-Awzaʿi, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah: When the prayer was established for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the people would take their places before the Prophet took his.
