أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ

إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلاَ يَرْفَعْ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أَنْ يُلْتَمَعَ بَصَرُهُ

  • أبو زرعة الرازي

    الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه وهم والزهري عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله عن أبي سعيد وهم والحديث حديث ابن المبارك عن يونس وهو الصحيح

    machine translation[The narration of] al-Zuhrī from Sālim from his father is an error (wahm), and [the narration of] al-Zuhrī from ʿUbayd Allāh b. ʿAbd Allāh from Abū Saʿīd is an error (wahm). The hadith is the hadith of Ibn al-Mubārak from Yūnus, and that is the correct (ṣaḥīḥ) one.
