Sunan an-Nasa'i 1116
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، - هُوَ السَّلَمِيُّ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي غَالِبٌ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالظَّهَائِرِ سَجَدْنَا عَلَى ثِيَابِنَا اتِّقَاءَ الْحَرِّ .
Suwayd ibn Nasr reported to us; he said: ‘Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Khalid ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman—al-Salami—who said: Ghalib al-Qattan narrated to me, from Bakr ibn ‘Abdullah al-Muzani, from Anas, who said: When we prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the heat of midday, we prostrated on our garments to protect ourselves from the heat.
Translation notes
The Arabic has first-person plural “when we prayed behind the Messenger” and describes the hot midday periods (بِالظَّهَائِرِ); the English witness narrows this to Zuhr prayer.
