Sunan an-Nasa'i 1065
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ رُكُوعُهُ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَسُجُودُهُ وَمَا بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ .
Yaʿqub ibn Ibrahim informed us: Ibn ʿUlayyah narrated to us: Shuʿbah informed us, from al-Hakam, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from al-Baraʾ ibn ʿAzib, that the Messenger of Allah’s bowing, his standing after raising his head from bowing, his prostration, and the sitting between the two prostrations were nearly equal in duration.
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،
The English witness begins with al-Baraʾ ibn ʿAzib and omits the earlier transmitters named in the Arabic chain.
Should the English witness preserve the full chain of transmission?
