أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، - هُوَ النَّضْرُ - قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى جَخَّى .
‘Abdah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahim al-Marwazi reported to us; he said: Ibn Shumayl—namely, al-Nadr—informed us; he said: Yunus ibn Abi Ishaq informed us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara’, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), when he prayed, would jakhkha.
Translation notes
The source uses the rare verb جَخَّى; the available English witness transliterates it as “Jakhkha,” so the Arabic term is retained pending lexical review.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى جَخَّى .
The rare verb جَخَّى is not semantically clarified in the Arabic passage, and the available English witness also leaves it transliterated.
