Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ بْنَ سَهْلٍ، يَقُولُ صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ قُلْتُ يَا عَمِّ مَا هَذِهِ الصَّلاَةُ الَّتِي صَلَّيْتَ قَالَ الْعَصْرَ وَهَذِهِ صَلاَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الَّتِي كُنَّا نُصَلِّي ‏.‏

Translation

Suwayd ibn Nasr reported to us: ‘Abdullah informed us, from Abu Bakr ibn ‘Uthman ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf, who said: I heard Abu Umamah ibn Sahl say: We prayed Zuhr with ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz, then went out and entered upon Anas ibn Malik, whom we found praying ‘Asr. I said, “Uncle, what prayer was this that you prayed?” He replied, “‘Asr. This is the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that we used to pray with him.”
