Hadith 982
أَخْبَرَنَا
قُتَيْبَةُ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا
الْعَطَّافُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ
زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، قال : دَخَلْنَا عَلَى
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، فَقَالَ : " صَلَّيْتُمْ " قُلْنَا : " نَعَمْ " قَالَ : " يَا جَارِيَةُ هَلُمِّي لِي وَضُوءًا مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ إِمَامٍ أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ إِمَامِكُمْ هَذَا " قَالَ زَيْدٌ : وَكَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ يُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ وَيُخَفِّفُ الْقِيَامَ وَالْقُعُودَ .
´It was narrated that Zaid bin Aslam said:` "We entered upon Anas bin Malik and he said: 'Have you prayed?' We said: 'Yes.' He asid: 'O slave girl, bring me water for Wudhu! I have never prayed behind any Imam whose prayer more closely resembles the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) than this Imam of yours.'" Zaid said: "Umar bin Abdul Aziz used to complete the bowing and prostration (without rushing) and lighten the standing and sitting."
Hadith 983
´It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:` "I have never prayed behind anyone whose prayer more closely resembled that of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) than so-and-so." (The narrator) Sulaiman siad: "He used to make the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr lengthy and the last two shorter, and he would make 'Asr shorter; in Maghrib he would recite the short Mufassal surahs, in Isha' the medium-length Mufassal surahs and in Subh the long Mufassal surahs.
