أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْفَتْحِ هِلَالُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ الْحَفَّارُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَشْكَابَ، ثنا أَبُو بَدْرٍ شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُرِّ، حَدَّثَنِي عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَيَّاشٍ أَوْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فِيهِ أَبُوهُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي الْمَجْلِسِ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، وَأَبُو أُسَيْدٍ وَأَبُو حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَّهُمْ تَذَاكَرُوا الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُكُمْ بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالُوا: كَيْفَ؟ قَالَ: اتَّبَعْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالُوا فَأَرِنَا قَالَ: فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ، فَبَدَأَ " فَكَبَّرَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ لِلرُّكُوعِ، فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ أَيْضًا حَتَّى أَمْكَنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ غَيْرَ مُقَنَّعٍ رَأْسَهُ وَلَا مُصَوِّبِهِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ اللهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ فَسَجَدَ فَانْتَصَبَ عَلَى كَفَّيْهِ وَرُكْبَتَيْهِ وَصُدُورِ قَدَمَيْهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَجَلَسَ فَتَوَرَّكَ إِحْدَى قَدَمَيْهِ وَنَصَبَ قَدَمَهُ الْأُخْرَى، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ يَعْنِي فَقَامَ وَلَمْ يَتَوَرَّكْ، ثُمَّ عَادَ فَرَكَعَ الرَّكْعَةَ الْأُخْرَى كَذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ بَعْدَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى إِذَا هُوَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْهَضَ لِلْقِيَامِ قَامَ بِتَكْبِيرٍ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ، وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ أَيْضًا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ " قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عِيسَى أَنَّ مِمَّا حَدَّثَهُ أَيْضًا فِي الْجُلُوسِ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ أَنْ يَضَعَ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَيَضَعَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى، ثُمَّ يُشِيرَ بِالدُّعَاءِ بِإِصْبَعٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَدْرٍ وَرَوَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ، عَنْ أَبِي بَدْرٍ، فَقَالَ: عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ وَرَوَى عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ ⦗١٤٧⦘ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مُحَمَّدًا فِي إِسْنَادِهِ، وَالصَّحِيحُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ قَدْ شَهِدَهُ مِنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ.
It is narrated from Abbas bin Sahl al-Sa'idi (may Allah have mercy on him) that he was in a gathering where his father was also present, who had the honour of being a Companion of the Messenger [may Allah be pleased with him]. In that gathering were also Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah, Sayyiduna Abu Usayd and Sayyiduna Abu Humayd al-Sa'idi al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with them). They discussed the prayer, and Sayyiduna Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I know the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) better than all of you." They said: "How is that?" Sayyiduna Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I learned it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."
They said: "Then pray it and show us!" So Sayyiduna Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up while the people watched him. He began the prayer. He said the takbir and raised his hands up to his shoulders; then he said the takbir for bowing and raised both hands in the same way (raf' al-yadayn). Then he set his hands firmly on his knees. His head was neither lowered too much nor raised too high; rather, his back was level. Then Sayyiduna Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him), raising his head, said: 'Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah' (Allah hears the one who praises Him), 'Allahumma rabbana laka al-hamd' (O Allah, our Lord, to You belongs all praise). Then he raised his hands (raf' al-yadayn), then said 'Allahu Akbar' and prostrated, placing his palms, his knees and the front parts of his feet firmly, while he was in prostration. Then he said the takbir and sat down. Then he laid one foot, the left, flat and kept the right foot upright. Then he said the takbir and prostrated again. Then he said the takbir and stood straight up without pausing. Then he completed the second rak'ah in the same way. Then he sat after two rak'ahs. When he intended to rise for standing, he stood up saying the takbir; then he performed the other two rak'ahs; then he gave the salam to the right and to the left, saying: 'Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah' (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah).
In another narration, the sitting in tashahhud is also mentioned: that he placed the left hand on the left thigh and the right hand on the right thigh, then pointed with the (index) finger while supplicating.
