Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَقْرَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَكُنْتُ أَرَى عُفْرَةَ إِبْطَيْهِ إِذَا سَجَدَ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Ali ibn Hujr reported to us; he said: Isma‘il informed us; he said: Dawud ibn Qays narrated to us, from ‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Aqram, from his father, who said: I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and when he prostrated I could see the whiteness of his armpits.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic reports seeing the pale/whitish area of the Prophet’s armpits during prostration.
