Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَحَسْنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَا ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا غَيْلَانُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ أَنَا وَعِمْرَانُ خَلْفَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَكَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ كَبَّرَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ كَبَّرَ وَإِذَا نَهَضَ مِنْ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ كَبَّرَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا أَخَذَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ لَقَدْ صَلَّى بِنَا هَذَا مِثْلَ صَلَاةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ قَالَ لَقَدْ ذَكَّرَنِي هَذَا صَلَاةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Sulayman ibn Harb and Hasan ibn Musa told us, they said: Hammad ibn Zayd told us, Ghaylan ibn Jarir told us, from Mutarrif, who said: I and Imran prayed behind Ali ibn Abi Talib, and whenever he prostrated he said "Allahu Akbar," and whenever he rose he said "Allahu Akbar," and whenever he stood up from the two rak'ahs he said "Allahu Akbar." When we finished, Imran ibn al-Husayn took my hand and said: "This one has prayed with us like the prayer of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him," or he said: "This has reminded me of the prayer of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him."
