Muwatta' Malik 8-22

Translation

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from as-Sa'ib ibn Yazid from al Muttalib ibn Abi Wadaa as-Sahmi that Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ said, "I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying nawafil sitting, until a year before his death, when he began to pray them sitting. He would recite the sura with a measured slowness so that it would seem to be longer than other suras which were actually longer than it."

• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  هكذا رواه جماعة رواة الموطإ بهذا الإسناد عن مالك عن ابن شهاب عن السائب ورواه أبو حمة محمد بن يوسف عن أبي قرة موسى ابن طارق عن مالك عن الزهري عن عطاء بن يزيد الجندعي عن المطلب بن أبي وداعة فأخطأ فيه ورواه علي بن زياد عن موسى بن طارق عن مالك بن أنس عن ابن شهاب عن السائب بن يزيد كما رواه الناس وهو الصواب

  machine translationThus a group of the transmitters of the Muwaṭṭaʾ narrated it with this chain of transmission, from Mālik, from Ibn Shihāb, from al-Sāʾib. Abū Ḥummah Muḥammad b. Yūsuf narrated it from Abū Qurrah Mūsā b. Ṭāriq, from Mālik, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿAṭāʾ b. Yazīd al-Jundaʿī, from al-Muṭṭalib b. Abī Wadāʿah, and he made an error in it. But ʿAlī b. Ziyād narrated it from Mūsā b. Ṭāriq, from Mālik b. Anas, from Ibn Shihāb, from al-Sāʾib b. Yazīd, as the people narrated it, and that is the correct version. Report a problem
