Sunan an-Nasa'i 1039
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا رَكَعَ اعْتَدَلَ فَلَمْ يَنْصِبْ رَأْسَهُ وَلَمْ يُقْنِعْهُ وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ .
Muhammad ibn Bashshar informed us: Yahya narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Hamid ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us: Muhammad ibn ʿAmr ibn ʿAtaʾ narrated to me, from Abu Humayd al-Saʿidi, who said: “When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bowed, he kept his back level: he neither held his head up nor tucked it down, and he placed his hands on his knees.”
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ،
The English witness is abridged in the transmission chain; the Arabic source preserves it.
Should the English witness include the omitted chain in its separate source record?
