Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي بُكَيْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَشْبَهَ صَلاَةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ فُلاَنٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ الأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَيُخَفِّفُ الأُخْرَيَيْنِ وَيُخَفِّفُ الْعَصْرَ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Abu Bakr al-Hanafi narrated to us: Al-Dahhak ibn 'Uthman narrated to me: Bukayr ibn 'Abdullah ibn al-Ashajj narrated to us, from Sulayman ibn Yasar, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: I have not seen anyone whose prayer more closely resembled the Messenger of Allah's (peace and blessings be upon him) than so-and-so. He would lengthen the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr, shorten the last two, and shorten 'Asr.
