حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ أَخَفِّ النَّاسِ صَلاَةً فِي تَمَامٍ ‏ .‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَاسْمُ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ وَضَّاحٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى سَأَلْتُ قُتَيْبَةَ قُلْتُ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ مَا اسْمُهُ قَالَ وَضَّاحٌ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ ابْنُ مَنْ قَالَ لاَ أَدْرِي كَانَ عَبْدًا لاِمْرَأَةٍ بِالْبَصْرَةِ ‏.‏

Qutaybah narrated to us: Abu Awanah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah was among the people who prayed most briefly while still completing the prayer properly. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. Abu Awanah’s name was Waddah. Abu Isa said: I asked Qutaybah, ‘What was Abu Awanah’s name?’ He replied, ‘Waddah.’ I asked, ‘Whose son was he?’ He said, ‘I do not know. He was enslaved to a woman in Basra.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source balances brevity with completing the prayer, then adds biographical information about Abu Awanah.
