Bayhaqi 2707 — Keeping the elbows away from the sides

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دَرَسْتَوَيْهِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَقْرَمَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ أَبِيهِ بِالْقَاعِ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ، فَمَرَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَكْبٌ فَأَنَاخُوا بِنَاحِيَةِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي: كُنْ فِي بَهْمِكَ حَتَّى أَدْنُوَ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّكْبِ أُسَائِلُهُ قَالَ: " فَدَنَا وَدَنَوْتُ حَتَّى أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِمْ فَكُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَتَيْ إِبِطَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلَّمَا سَجَدَ " قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ هَكَذَا قَالَ: مِنْ نَمِرَةَ، وَالصَّحِيحُ ثَمِرَةُ، أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ كَمَا أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَيْضًا.
(a) Ubaydullah bin Abdullah bin Aqram al-Khuza'i narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was with his father at Namirah. A caravan passed by them, and they made their camels kneel at one side of the road. My father said: "Stay with your animals while I go near them and ask who these people are."
Then we both went close to the caravan. Meanwhile the time of prayer came. I saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was among them. Whenever he (peace and blessings be upon him) went into prostration, I would look at his (peace and blessings be upon him) armpits.
(b) Ya'qub says: The narrator said 'min Namirah', but the correct form is 'Thamirah'; he erred in this just as Ibn al-Mubarak erred.
