  وقال شبابة عن ابن أبي ذئب عن المقبري عن رجل من بني سليم أنه أخبره عن أبيه عن كعب عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ولا يخالف أحدكم أصابع يديه في الصلاة وقيل عنه عن رجل من بني سالم وهذا الحديث مختلف فيه على سعيد فقيل عنه هكذا وقيل عنه عن كعب وقيل عنه عن رجل عن كعب وقيل عنه عن أبي هريرة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لكعب وقيل عن ابن عجلان عن أبيه عن أبي هريرة والصواب عن ابن عجلان عن سعيد المقبري على الوجوه الثلاثة

  machine translationShabābah said, from Ibn Abī Dhiʾb, from al-Maqburī, from a man of Banū Sulaym who informed him, from his father, from Kaʿb, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "And none of you should interlace the fingers of his hands in prayer." It was also said from him: from a man of Banū Sālim. This ḥadīth is disputed with regard to Saʿīd: it was said from him thus, and it was said from him from Kaʿb, and it was said from him from a man from Kaʿb, and it was said from him from Abū Hurayrah that the Prophet ﷺ said to Kaʿb. And it was said from Ibn ʿAjlān, from his father, from Abū Hurayrah. The correct version is from Ibn ʿAjlān, from Saʿīd al-Maqburī, in the three ways. Report a problem
