أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرِّبَاطِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَمْرٌو، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ - عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، وَعَلْقَمَةَ، قَالاَ صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَقَامَ بَيْنَنَا فَوَضَعْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا عَلَى رُكَبِنَا فَنَزَعَهَا فَخَالَفَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِنَا وَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَفْعَلُهُ .
Ahmad ibn Saʿid al-Ribati informed me: ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn ʿAbdullah narrated to us: ʿAmr—he is Ibn Abi Qays—reported to us, from al-Zubayr ibn ʿAdi, from Ibrahim, from al-Aswad and ʿAlqamah, who said: “We prayed with ʿAbdullah ibn Masʿud in his house. He stood between us. We placed our hands on our knees, but he moved them away, interlaced our fingers, and said: ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do this.’”

أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرِّبَاطِيُّ،
The English witness is abridged in the transmission chain; the Arabic source preserves it.
Should the English witness include the omitted chain in its separate source record?
