Hadith 20228

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَن حُمَيْدٍ ، عَن الْحَسَنِ ، عَن سَمُرَةَ بن جُندب , أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : كَانَ يَسْكُتُ سَكْتَتَيْنِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، وَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ " ، فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ ، فَكَتَبُوا إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ يَسْأَلُونَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَكَتَبَ : أَنْ صَدَقَ سَمُرَةُ.
Hazrat Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would observe silence twice during the prayer: once after beginning the prayer, and once after completing the recitation. Hazrat Imran bin Husain said, "I do not remember this from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)." Both of them wrote a letter to Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b regarding this matter, in which they inquired from him. Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b, in his reply, confirmed the statement of Hazrat Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him).
