أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ: بَكْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَمْدَانَ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي، ( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحَسَنِ: عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، ثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، قَالَ:
كَانَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الْحُوَيْرِثِ يَأْتِينَا فِي مَسْجِدِنَا هَذَا لِيُصَلِّيَ بِنَا فَيَقُولُ: إِنِّي لَأُصَلِّي بِكُمْ، وَمَا أُرِيدُ الصَّلَاةَ، وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي، قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي قِلَابَةَ: كَيْفَ كَانَتْ - يَعْنِي صَلَاتَهُ - ؟ قَالَ: مِثْلَ صَلَاةِ شَيْخِنَا هَذَا - يَعْنِي عَمْرَو بْنَ سَلِمَةَ، قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الشَّيْخُ يُتِمُّ التَّكْبِيرَ، وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ جَلَسَ، ثُمَّ اعْتَمَدَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ

Mālik b. al-Ḥuwayrith used to come to us in this mosque of ours to lead us in prayer. He would say: "I am going to pray with you, and I do not intend the prayer itself, but I want to show you how I saw the Prophet ﷺ pray." Ayyūb said: I said to Abū Qilābah: "How was it" - meaning his prayer - ? He said: "Like the prayer of this elder of ours" - meaning ʿAmr b. Salimah. Ayyūb said: That elder used to complete the takbīr, and when he raised his head from the second prostration, he would sit, then rest his weight on the ground.
