Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَسَوَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَوَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُمَا صَلَّيَا خَلْفَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ كَبَّرَ فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَكَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ حِينَ قَامَ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لأَقْرَبُكُمْ شَبَهًا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا زَالَتْ هَذِهِ صَلاَتُهُ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا ‏.‏ وَاللَّفْظُ لِسَوَّارٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Nasr ibn ‘Ali and Sawwar ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Sawwar reported to us; they said: ‘Abd al-A‘la reported to us, from Ma‘mar, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Bakr ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman and Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman, that they prayed behind Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). When he bowed, he said the takbir; when he raised his head, he said, “Allah hears whoever praises Him. Our Lord, to You belongs all praise.” Then he prostrated and said the takbir, raised his head and said the takbir, and said the takbir when he stood up after the rak‘ah. Then he said, “By the One in whose hand is my soul, among you I am the one whose prayer most closely resembles the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). This was how he prayed until he departed this world.” The wording is Sawwar’s.
