أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سُحَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَشَفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم السِّتَارَةَ وَالنَّاسُ صُفُوفٌ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ - رضى الله عنه - فَقَالَ " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلاَّ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْمُسْلِمُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ - ثُمَّ قَالَ - أَلاَ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا فَأَمَّا الرُّكُوعُ فَعَظِّمُوا فِيهِ الرَّبَّ وَأَمَّا السُّجُودُ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ قَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ " .
Qutaybah ibn Saʿid informed us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Sulayman ibn Suhaym, from Ibrahim ibn ʿAbdullah ibn Maʿbad ibn ʿAbbas, from his father, from Ibn ʿAbbas, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drew back the curtain while the people were in rows behind Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: “O people, nothing remains of the glad tidings of prophethood except a good dream that a Muslim sees or that is shown to him. Then he said: ‘Indeed, I have been forbidden to recite while bowing or prostrating. As for bowing, glorify the Lord therein; as for prostration, strive in supplication, for you are likely to be answered.’”
Translation notes
The phrase “or that is shown to him” preserves the passive wording in the second clause about the good dream.

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?
