Sunan an-Nasa'i 1109
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَصَمِّ - عَنْ عَمِّهِ، يَزِيدَ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الأَصَمِّ - عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ جَافَى يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى لَوْ أَنَّ بَهْمَةً أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَمُرَّ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتْ .
Qutaybah reported to us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from ‘Ubaydullah—namely, the son of ‘Abdullah ibn al-Asamm—from his uncle Yazid, who was also Ibn al-Asamm, from Maymunah, that when the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrated, he held his arms apart so widely that if a lamb wanted to pass beneath them, it could.
Translation notes
The source identifies ‘Ubaydullah as ‘Abdullah ibn al-Asamm’s son, then says he narrated from his uncle Yazid ibn al-Asamm. The animal is described generically as بَهْمَةً; “lamb” follows the English witness.
