Sunan an-Nasa'i 1128
أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ حِمْيَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، وَذَكَرَ، آخَرَ قَبْلَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يُصَلِّي تَطَوُّعًا قَالَ إِذَا سَجَدَ " اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ وَصَوَّرَهُ وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ " .
Yahya ibn ‘Uthman reported to us; he said: Ibn Humayr informed us; he said: Shu‘ayb ibn Abi Hamzah narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir—and he mentioned another narrator before him—from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Hurmuz al-A‘raj, from Muhammad ibn Maslamah, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), when he got up at night to perform voluntary prayer, would say upon prostrating: “O Allah, to You I have prostrated, in You I have believed, and to You I have submitted. O Allah, You are my Lord. My face has prostrated to the One who created and fashioned it, and made its hearing and sight. Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators.”
Translation notes
وَذَكَرَ،
The chain says وَذَكَرَ آخَرَ قَبْلَهُ, but does not identify the referent of “he” or name the additional narrator.
Who is the narrator referred to by “another before him”?
