Sunan an-Nasa'i 1002
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَوْنٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ عُمَرُ لِسَعْدٍ قَدْ شَكَاكَ النَّاسُ فِي كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّى فِي الصَّلاَةِ . فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ أَتَّئِدُ فِي الأُولَيَيْنِ وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الأُخْرَيَيْنِ وَمَا آلُو مَا اقْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ .
ʿAmr ibn ʿAli informed us: Yahya ibn Saʿid narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us: Abu ʿAwn told me: “I heard Jabir ibn Samurah say that ʿUmar said to Saʿd: ‘The people have complained about you in every matter, even the prayer.’ Saʿd said: ‘I take my time in the first two rakʿahs and shorten the last two. I spare no effort to follow the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in prayer.’ ʿUmar said: ‘That is what I expected of you.’”
Translation notes
يَقُولُ قَالَ عُمَرُ لِسَعْدٍ قَدْ شَكَاكَ النَّاسُ فِي كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّى فِي الصَّلاَةِ .
The Arabic name is سعد (Saʿd), while the English witness reads “Sa'eed.”
Should the English witness name be corrected to Saʿd?
