أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ: "مُنِعَتْ خَيْرًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ".
Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He was prevented from something better than this, that is, the obligatory prayer, meaning then prostration.
