أَخْبَرَنَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ثنا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي إِلَى بَعِيرِهِ وَهُوَ مُعْتَرِضٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَقَوْلُهُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مِنْ قَوْلِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ لِنَافِعٍ 3461 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أنبأ يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَمَّادِيُّ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ الْمُقْرِئِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَوْلُهُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مِنْ كَلَامِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ لِنَافِعٍ لَا مِنْ كَلَامِ نَافِعٍ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ مُوسَى وَالْقَاسِمَ بْنَ زَكَرِيَّا أَخْبَرَانِي قَالَا ثنا خَلَّادُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ ثنا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَيُعَرِّضُ الْبَعِيرَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ سَأَلْتُ نَافِعًا إِذَا ذَهَبَتِ الْإِبِلُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ كَانَ يُعَرِّضُ مُؤَخِّرَةَ الرَّحْلِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ
English Translation
Ali ibn Bishran informed us, Isma'il al-Saffar informed us, al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Affan narrated to us, Ibn Numayr narrated to us from Ubaydullah from Nafi' from Ibn Umar that he used to pray facing his camel while it was placed crosswise between him and the qiblah. And his saying 'What if...' was from Ubaydullah's words to Nafi'. Abu Amr al-Adib informed us, Abu Bakr al-Isma'ili informed us, Yusuf ibn Ya'qub al-Hammadi mentioned the hadith similarly to that of al-Muqri. The Shaykh Abu Bakr said: It seems that the saying 'What if...' was from Ubaydullah's words to Nafi', not from Nafi's words to Abdullah. Ibrahim ibn Musa and al-Qasim ibn Zakariyya informed me, they said: Khallad ibn Aslam narrated to us, Abidah ibn Humayd narrated to us from Ubaydullah from Nafi' from Ibn Umar who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to pray and would place the camel crosswise between him and the qiblah. Al-Qasim said in his hadith: Ubaydullah said: I asked Nafi': When the camels go away, what would he do? He said: He would place the back part of the saddle crosswise between him and the qiblah.
