Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَلَا أُرِيكُمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقَامَ وَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَجَافَى يَدَيْهِ وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَفَرَّجَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ رُكْبَتَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَجَافَى حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي أَوْ هَكَذَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Husayn ibn Ali narrated to us, from Za'idah, from Ata' ibn al-Sa'ib, from Salim Abu Abdullah, who said: Uqbah ibn Amr said, "Shall I not show you the prayer of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?" He said: He stood and said the takbir, then bowed, holding his hands away from his sides, placing his hands on his knees and spreading his fingers behind his knees, until every part of him settled. Then he raised his head and stood until every part of him settled. Then he prostrated, holding his arms away, until every part of him settled. He said: He prayed four rak'ahs, then said, "This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, pray" - or "This is how the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to lead us in prayer."
