حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ
قَتَادَةَ وَغَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ ، عَنْ
مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ ، قَالَ : صَلَّيْتُ أَنَا
وَعِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ بِالْكُوفَةِ خَلْفَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ،
فَكَبَّرَ بِنَا هَذَا التَّكْبِيرَ حِينَ يَرْكَعُ وَحِينَ يَسْجُدُ ، فَكَبَّرَهُ كُلَّهُ ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا , قَالَ لِي عِمْرَانُ : " مَا صَلَّيْتُ مُنْذُ حِينٍ أَوْ قَالَ : مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا أَشْبَهَ بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ " يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ عَلِيٍّ.
Mutarrif bin Shukhair says that I was in Kufa with Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him), when Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) led us in prayer. He would say Allahu Akbar every time he went into and rose from prostration. When the prayer was finished, Hazrat Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "For a long time, I have not prayed any prayer more similar to the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than this one."
