وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
لَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ نَالَنَا وَبَاءٌ مِنْ وَعْكِهَا شَدِيدٌ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ فِي سُبْحَتِهِمْ قُعُودًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةُ الْقَاعِدِ مِثْلُ نِصْفِ صَلاَةِ الْقَائِمِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al As said, "When we arrived at Madina we were struck down by a severe epidemic which debilitated us greatly. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to the people while they were praying nawafil prayers sitting down. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The prayer of the one sitting is equal to only half the prayer of the one standing.' "

هكذا روى هذا الحديث عن مالك جماعة الرواة فيما علمت بهذا الإسناد مرسلا وروى فيه عن ابن أبي زائدة عن مالك عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه ولا يصح
machine translationA group of narrators related this hadith from Mālik in this way, as far as I know, with this chain of transmission as a mursal report. Ibn Abī Zāʾidah also related it from Mālik, from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from his father, but this is not sound (ṣaḥīḥ).
in موطأ مالك, p. 289 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
ورواه الحسين بن الوليد عن مالك عن ابن شهاب عن عيسى بن طلحة عن عبد الله بن عمرو ولم يتابعه على ذلك أحد من رواة مالك وإنما يرويه هكذا عن ابن شهاب عن عيسى بن طلحة عن عبد الله بن عمرو ابن عيينة وحده من بين أصحاب ابن شهاب على اختلاف على ابن عيينة في ذلك أيضا
machine translationAl-Ḥusayn b. al-Walīd related it from Mālik, from Ibn Shihāb, from ʿĪsā b. Ṭalḥah, from ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr. None of Mālik's narrators corroborated him in that. Only Ibn ʿUyaynah, alone among the companions of Ibn Shihāb, related it in this way, from Ibn Shihāb, from ʿĪsā b. Ṭalḥah, from ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr, though there is also disagreement about Ibn ʿUyaynah in that.

يرويه ابن جريج وصالح بن أبي الأخضر عن الزهري عن أنس وخالفهما ابن عيينة فرواه عن الزهري عن عيسى بن طلحة عن عبد الله بن عمرو وخالفهم محمد بن إسحاق فرواه عن الزهري عن أبي سلمة عن عبد الله بن عمرو رواه النعمان من رواية مروان بن ثوبان عنه فقال عن الزهري عن سعيد بن المسيب وأبي سلمة عن عبد الله بن عمرو ورواه يزيد بن عياض عن الزهري عن ابن المسيب عن عبد الله بن عمرو رواه بكر بن وائل عن الزهري عن مولى لعبد الله بن عمرو عن عبد الله بن عمرو ورواه صالح بن عمر عن صالح بن أبي الأخضر عن الزهري عن السائب بن يزيد عن المطلب بن أبي وداعة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ورواه عبد الرزاق بن عمر وإبراهيم بن مرة عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ورواه مالك ومعمر عن الزهري أن عبد الله بن عمرو لم يذكر بينهما أحدا وهو المحفوظ
machine translationIbn Jurayj and Ṣāliḥ b. Abī al-Akhḍar narrate it from al-Zuhrī, from Anas. Ibn ʿUyaynah differed from them and narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from ʿĪsā b. Ṭalḥah, from ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr. Muḥammad b. Isḥāq differed from them and narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Abū Salamah, from ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr. Al-Nuʿmān narrated it from the narration of Marwān b. Thawbān from him, and said: from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab and Abū Salamah, from ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr. Yazīd b. ʿIyāḍ narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Ibn al-Musayyab, from ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr. Bakr b. Wāʾil narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from a freed slave of ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr, from ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr. Ṣāliḥ b. ʿUmar narrated it from Ṣāliḥ b. Abī al-Akhḍar, from al-Zuhrī, from al-Sāʾib b. Yazīd, from al-Muṭṭalib b. Abī Wadāʿah, from the Prophet ﷺ. ʿAbd al-Razzāq b. ʿUmar and Ibrāhīm b. Murrah narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ. Mālik and Maʿmar narrated it from al-Zuhrī that ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr, without mentioning anyone between them, and this is the preserved (maḥfūẓ) version.
