أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، وَيَحْيَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، وَالأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُكَبِّرُ فِي كُلِّ خَفْضٍ وَرَفْعٍ وَيُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ - رضى الله عنهما - يَفْعَلاَنِهِ .
ʿAmr ibn ʿAli informed us: Muʿadh and Yahya narrated to us; they both said: Zuhayr narrated to us: Abu Ishaq narrated to me, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad, from ʿAlqamah and al-Aswad, from ʿAbdullah ibn Masʿud, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say the takbir at every lowering and rising, and give the salams to his right and left. Abu Bakr and ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them) did the same.
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،
The English witness reports ʿAbdullah ibn Masʿud directly and omits the preceding narrators in the Arabic chain.
Should the English witness preserve the full chain of transmission?
