Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ أَمْلَاهُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ حَدَّثَنَا عَلْقَمَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ عَلَّمَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ فَكَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَطَبَّقَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَجَعَلَهُمَا بَيْنَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ فَبَلَغَ سَعْدًا فَقَالَ صَدَقَ أَخِي قَدْ كُنَّا نَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أُمِرْنَا بِهَذَا وَأَخَذَ بِرُكْبَتَيْهِ حَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ هَكَذَا.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) taught us the prayer. He said the takbir and raised his hands, then he bowed and clasped his hands together, interlacing his fingers and placing them between his knees. When this reached Sa'd, he said: 'My brother spoke the truth. We used to do that, then we were commanded to do this' — and he grasped his knees.
