Sunan an-Nasa'i 1566
أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ الأَيَامِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ صَلاَةُ الأَضْحَى رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلاَةُ الْفِطْرِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلاَةُ الْمُسَافِرِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلاَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَانِ تَمَامٌ لَيْسَ بِقَصْرٍ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
‘Imran ibn Musa narrated to us; he said: Yazid ibn Zuray‘ narrated to us; he said: Sufyan ibn Sa‘id narrated to us, from Zubayd al-Ayyami, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla—he mentioned it, from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The prayer of al-Adha is two rak‘ahs, the prayer of al-Fitr is two rak‘ahs, the traveler’s prayer is two rak‘ahs, and the Friday prayer is two rak‘ahs, complete and not shortened, as spoken by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Translation notes
The source says ‘he mentioned it’ (ذَكَرَهُ) before ‘from ‘Umar’ without clarifying in this wording who the pronoun refers to; the translation preserves that phrasing.
ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ،
The pronoun in ‘he mentioned it’ has no explicit antecedent in this wording.
Can the referent of ‘he’ be established from another recension?
