Sunan Abi Dawud 858

Translation

This version (of Hadith No 856) adds: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The prayer of any of you is not complete until he performs ablution perfectly, as Allah, the Exalted, has ordered you. He should wash his face and hands up to the elbows, and wipe his head and (wash) his feet up to the ankles. Then he should exalt Allah and praise Him. Then he should recite the Qur'an as much as it is convenient for him. (Narrator then narrated the tradition like Hammad's, No. 856). He said: He then utter the takbir and prostration himself so that his face is at rest. Hammam (sub-narrator) said: Sometimes he reported: So that his forehead is at rest on the ground, and his joints return to their places and are loosened. Then he should say the takbir and then sit right on his hips and erect his back. He described the nature of prayer in this way by offering four rak'ahs until he finished it. The prayer of any of you is not complete unless he does so.

  وسألت أبي عن حديث رواه حماد بن سلمة عن إسحاق بن عبد الله بن أبي طلحة عن علي بن يحيى بن خلاد عن عمه لم يذكر أباه أن رجلا دخل المسجد فصلى والنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قاعد فذكر الحديث ورواه همام عن إسحاق بن عبد الله بن أبي طلحة عن علي بن يحيى بن خلاد عن أبيه عن عمه رفاعة بن رافع عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال أبي ورواه شريك بن عبد الله بن أبي نمر وداود بن قيس وابن عجلان عن علي بن يحيى بن خلاد فقالوا عن أبيه عن رفاعة وحماد ومحمد بن عمرو لا يقولان عن أبيه والصحيح عن أبيه عن عمه رفاعة

  machine translationI asked my father about a hadith narrated by Ḥammād b. Salamah, from Isḥāq b. ʿAbdillāh b. Abī Ṭalḥah, from ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā b. Khallād, from his paternal uncle, without mentioning his father: that a man entered the mosque and prayed while the Prophet ﷷ was sitting, and he mentioned the hadith. It was narrated by Hammām, from Isḥāq b. ʿAbdillāh b. Abī Ṭalḥah, from ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā b. Khallād, from his father, from his paternal uncle Rifāʿah b. Rāfiʿ, from the Prophet ﷺ. My father said: It was also narrated by Sharīk b. ʿAbdillāh b. Abī Namir, Dāwūd b. Qays and Ibn ʿAjlān, from ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā b. Khallād, and they said: from his father, from Rifāʿah. Ḥammād and Muḥammad b. ʿAmr do not say "from his father". The correct version is: from his father, from his paternal uncle Rifāʿah. Report a problem
