Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى بِذِي قَرَدٍ وَصَفَّ النَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُوَازِيَ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ هَؤُلاَءِ إِلَى مَكَانِ هَؤُلاَءِ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَلَمْ يَقْضُوا ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; he said: Yahya ibn Sa‘id narrated to us, from Sufyan, who said: Abu Bakr ibn Abi al-Jahm narrated to me, from ‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Abdullah, from Ibn ‘Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed at Dhi Qarad. The people formed two rows: one behind him and one opposite the enemy. He led those behind him in one rak‘ah. Then the first group moved to the place of the others, and the others came forward, and he led them in one rak‘ah. They did not make up any further portion.
