Sunan Abi Dawud 731

Translation

I (once) attended the meeting of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They began to discuss his prayer. Abu Humaid then narrated a part of the same tradition and said: When he bowed he clutched his knees with his palms, and he opened his fingers; then he bent his back without raising his upwards, and did not turn his face (on any side). When he sat at the end of two rak’ahs he sat on the sole of his left foot and raised the right, and after the fourth he placed his left hip on the ground and spread out both his feet one side.

  سمع هذا الخبر محمد بن عمرو بن عطاء عن أبي حميد وسمع من عباس بن سهل عن أبيه قال فالطريقان جميعا محفوظان ومتناهما متباينان وقد يتوهم غير المتبحر في صناعة الحديث أن خبر أبي حميد معلول وليس كذلك

  machine translationMuḥammad b. ʿAmr b. ʿAṭāʾ heard this report from Abū Ḥumayd, and he also heard it from ʿAbbās b. Sahl from his father. He said: So both routes are preserved (maḥfūẓ), and their texts differ. Someone who is not well versed in the craft of hadith may imagine that the report of Abū Ḥumayd is defective, but that is not the case. Report a problem

• Taḥāwī

  هذا الحديث لم يسمعه محمد بن عمرو بن عطاء من أبي حميد ولا من أحد ذكر مع أبي حميد وبينهما رجل مجهول ومحمد بن عمرو ذكر في الحديث أنه حضر أبا قتادة وسنه لا يحتمل ذلك فإن أبا قتادة قتل قبل ذلك بدهر طويل لأنه قتل مع علي وصلى عليه علي

  machine translationMuḥammad b. ʿAmr b. ʿAṭāʾ did not hear this hadith from Abū Ḥumayd, nor from anyone mentioned along with Abū Ḥumayd; between them there is an unknown (majhūl) man. Muḥammad b. ʿAmr is mentioned in the hadith as having been present with Abū Qatādah, but his age does not allow for that, for Abū Qatādah was killed a long time before that, since he was killed with ʿAlī, and ʿAlī prayed over him.
