Sunan an-Nasa'i 1055
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الْعَنْبَرِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ وَائِلٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا قَالَ " سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ " . هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ قَيْسٌ إِلَى نَحْوِ الأُذُنَيْنِ .
Suwayd ibn Nasr informed us: ʿAbdullah ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Qays ibn Sulaym al-ʿAnbari, who said: ʿAlqamah ibn Waʾil narrated to me, from my father. He said: I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and I saw him raise his hands when he began the prayer, when he bowed, and when he said, “Allah hears whoever praises Him.” Qays gestured toward the area of the ears.
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ،
The supplied English witness begins at ʿAlqamah ibn Waʾil and omits the earlier transmitters named in the Arabic chain.
Should the English witness preserve the full chain of transmission?
