Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ كَنَحْوٍ مِنْ صَلَاتِكُمْ الَّتِي تُصَلُّونَ الْيَوْمَ وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يُخَفِّفُ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ أَخَفَّ مِنْ صَلَاتِكُمْ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ الْوَاقِعَةَ وَنَحْوَهَا مِنْ السُّوَرِ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Isra'il and Yahya ibn Adam informed us - Isra'il narrated to us - from Simak ibn Harb, that he heard Jabir ibn Samurah say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to pray the prayers similarly to your prayers which you pray today, but he used to make them light; his prayer was lighter than your prayer, and he used to recite in the dawn prayer "The Event" and similar chapters.
