Sunan an-Nasa'i 1061
أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَقَطَ مِنْ فَرَسٍ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ يَعُودُونَهُ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ " إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ " .
Hannad ibn al-Sari informed us: from Ibn ʿUyaynah, from al-Zuhri, from Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) fell from a horse onto his right side, and they came in to visit him. The time for prayer arrived; when he had finished the prayer, he said: “The imam has only been appointed to be followed. When he bows, bow; when he rises, rise; and when he says, ‘Allah hears whoever praises Him,’ say, ‘Our Lord, to You is all praise.’”
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ،
The English witness begins with Anas and omits the preceding transmitters in the Arabic chain.
Should the English witness preserve the full chain of transmission?
