أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ لأُقَرِّبَنَّ لَكُمْ صَلاَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ فَكَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَقْنُتُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الآخِرَةِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الظُّهْرِ . وَصَلاَةِ الْعِشَاءِ الآخِرَةِ وَصَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ بَعْدَ مَا يَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَيَدْعُو لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَيَلْعَنُ الْكَفَرَةَ .
Sulayman ibn Salm al-Balkhi informed us: al-Nadr narrated to us: Hisham informed us, from Yahya, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurairah, who said: “I will show you the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).” Abu Hurairah would perform qunut in the final rakʿah of the Zuhr prayer, the later ʿIsha prayer, and the Subh prayer, after saying, “Allah hears whoever praises Him.” He would supplicate for the believers and invoke a curse upon the disbelievers.
Translation notes
The phrase صلاة العشاء الآخرة is rendered “the later ʿIsha prayer,” distinguishing it from other evening prayers.
أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ،
The English witness starts at Abu Salamah and omits the earlier transmitters in the Arabic chain.
Should the English witness preserve the full chain of transmission?
