Sunan an-Nasa'i 1176
أَخْبَرَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ كَأَنَّهُ عَلَى الرَّضْفِ . قُلْتُ حَتَّى يَقُومَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ يُرِيدُ .
Al-Haytham ibn Ayyub al-Talqani reported to us, saying: Ibrahim ibn Sa‘d ibn Ibrahim ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Awf reported to us; he said: my father reported to us, from Abu ‘Ubaydah ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Mas‘ud, from his father, who said: “During the two rak‘ahs, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was as though sitting on heated stones.” I asked, “Until he stood up?” He replied, “That is what I mean.”
Translation notes
The brief comparison كأنه على الرضف is rendered literally as “as though sitting on heated stones.”
