Hadith 609

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، نا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ . ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ ، نا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ : " إِنِّي لا آلُو أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ بِكُمْ كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي " ، قَالَ ثَابِتٌ : وَكَانَ أَنَسٌ يَصْنَعُ شَيْئًا لا أَرَاكُمْ تَصْنَعُونَهُ ، كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ ، انْتَصَبَ قَائِمًا حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ نَسِيَ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that indeed, just as I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performing prayer, I do not fall short in leading you (in prayer) in the same manner. Sayyiduna Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the actions which Sayyiduna Anas used to do (during prayer), I do not see you performing those actions. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would raise his head from bowing (ruku‘), he would stand straight for so long that we (in our hearts) would think that he had forgotten.
