أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّهَاوِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ أَلاَ أُصَلِّي لَكُمْ كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي فَقُلْنَا بَلَى . فَقَامَ فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ وَضَعَ رَاحَتَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَجَافَى إِبْطَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى كُلُّ شَىْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَجَافَى إِبْطَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ صَنَعَ كَذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي وَهَكَذَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا .
Ahmad ibn Sulayman al-Rahawi informed us: Husayn narrated to us, from Zaʾidah, from ʿAtaʾ, from Salim Abu ʿAbdullah, from ʿUqbah ibn ʿAmr, who said: “Shall I pray for you as I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) pray?” We said, “Yes.” He stood. When he bowed, he placed his palms on his knees, put his fingers behind his knees, and held his upper arms away from his sides until his whole body was settled. Then he raised his head and stood until his whole body was settled. He prostrated, keeping his upper arms away from his sides until his whole body was settled. Then he sat until his whole body was settled, then prostrated until his whole body was settled. He did that for four rakʿahs, then said: “This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah pray, and this is how he used to lead us in prayer.”
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّهَاوِيُّ،
The English witness is abridged in the transmission chain; the Arabic source preserves it.
Should the English witness include the omitted chain in its separate source record?
عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو،
The Arabic source says ʿUqbah ibn ʿAmr, while the English witness says ʿUqbah ibn ʿAmir.
Should the English witness name be corrected to match the Arabic source's ʿUqbah ibn ʿAmr?
