Bayhaqi 3730 — The two prostrations of Surah al-Hajj

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثنا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ الْفَجْرَ بِالْجَابِيَةِ فَقَرَأَ السُّورَةَ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا الْحَجُّ فَسَجَدَ فِيهَا سَجْدَتَيْنِ " قَالَ نَافِعٌ: فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ فُضِّلَتْ بِأَنَّ فِيهَا سَجْدَتَيْنِ " وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ " يَسْجُدُ فِيهَا سَجْدَتَيْنِ " وَهَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةُ عَنْ عُمَرَ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَنْ نَافِعٍ فِي مَعْنَى الْمُرْسَلِ لِتَرْكِ نَافِعٍ تَسْمِيَةَ الْمِصْرِيِّ الَّذِي حَدَّثَهُ فَالرِّوَايَةُ الْأُولَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ صُعَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ رِوَايَةٌ صَحِيحَةٌ مَوْصُولَةٌ، وَكَذَلِكَ رِوَايَةُ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مَوْصُولَةٌ.
Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: A man from the people of Egypt told me that he prayed the morning prayer with Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) at al-Jabiyah. He recited Surah al-Hajj and made two prostrations in it. Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When he concluded with the salam, he said: This surah has been given superiority because it contains two prostrations. And Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) also used to make two prostrations in it.
Although this report from Umar, through Nafi', is in effect mursal, since Nafi' did not name the Egyptian who narrated it to him, the first report, from Abdullah bin Tha'labah bin Su'ayr from Umar, is a sahih (authentic), connected (mawsul) report; and likewise Nafi''s report from Ibn Umar is connected.
