Musnad Ahmad 8429 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَة : أَهَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِكُمْ ؟ قَالَ : " وَمَا أَنْكَرْتَ مِنْ صَلَاتِي ؟ " قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ . قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، وَأَوْجَزُ . قَالَ : " وَكَانَ قِيَامُهُ قَدْرَ مَا يَنْزِلُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ مِنَ الْمَنَارَةِ وَيَصِلُ إِلَى الصَّفِّ " .
Abu Khalid (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I asked Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also use to lead you in prayer in the same manner as you lead us?" Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "What do you find unusual or strange in my prayer?" I said, "This is what I wanted to ask you about." He said, "Yes, rather even shorter than this." The narrator says that the standing (qiyam) of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to be only as long as it would take for the muezzin to descend from the minaret and reach the row.
