Sunan an-Nasa'i 1107
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَبْصَرْتُ إِبْطَيْهِ . قَالَ أَبُو مِجْلَزٍ كَأَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ لأَنَّهُ فِي صَلاَةٍ .
Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Bazi‘ reported to us; he said: Mu‘tamir ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from ‘Imran, from Abu Mijlaz, from Bashir ibn Nahik, from Abu Hurairah, who said: ‘If I were in front of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I would see his armpits.’ Abu Mijlaz said: ‘It seems he said that because he was praying.’
Translation notes
The final statement is Abu Mijlaz’s explanatory comment, not part of Abu Hurairah’s quotation.
