أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمِ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ " .
Translation
Qutaybah narrated to us: Malik narrated to us from Amir ibn Abdullah ibn Az-Zubayr, from Amr ibn Sulaym, from Abu Qatadah, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When one of you enters the mosque, let him pray two rak‘ahs before sitting down.'
