Sunan an-Nasa'i 1549

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us, from Muhammad, who said: Shu‘bah narrated to us, from Mansur, who said: I heard Mujahid narrating from Abu ‘Ayyash al-Zuraqi. Shu‘bah said: He wrote it to me; I read it to him and heard him narrate it, but I had memorized it. Ibn Bashshar said in his version, “My retention is from the written text”: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was facing the enemy at ‘Usfan, with Khalid ibn al-Walid leading the polytheists. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in the noon prayer. The polytheists said, “They have another prayer after this that they love more than their wealth and sons.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) then led them in the ‘Asr prayer, arranging them in two rows behind him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) bowed with them all. When they raised their heads, he prostrated with the row nearest him while the others stood. When the first row raised their heads from prostration, the rear row prostrated, having bowed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the front row moved back, and the rear row moved forward, each taking the other’s place. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) bowed with them all. When they raised their heads from bowing, the row nearest him prostrated while the others stood. When they had finished prostrating, the others prostrated. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said the taslim to them.
