“I memorized two pauses in the prayer, a pause before reciting and a pause when bowing. ‘Imran bin Husain denied that, so they wrote to Al-Madinah, to Ubayy bin Ka’b, and he said that Samurah was speaking the truth.”  

سَمُرَةُ حَفِظْتُ سَكْتَتَيْنِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ سَكْتَةً قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَسَكْتَةً عِنْدَ الرُّكُوعِ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ فَكَتَبُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَصَدَّقَ سَمُرَةَ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , had two pauses during his prayer. One pause when he started the prayer and another pause before he bowed after completing the second Surah. This was mentioned to Imran ibn Husayn, and he said, "Samarah has lied." So he wrote about it to Medina to Ubayy ibn Ka'b, and he said, "Samarah has spoken the truth.""  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَتْ لَهُ سَكْتَتَانِ سَكْتَةٌ حِينَ يَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ وَسَكْتَةٌ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ السُّورَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ فَقَالَ كَذَبَ سَمُرَةُ فَكَتَبَ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ سَمُرَةُ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ used to remain silent twice, when he entered into prayer and when he finished reciting. Imran ibn Husain condemned this, so they wrote to Ubay ibn Ka'b to ask him about it. He responded that Samurah told the truth."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَسْكُتُ سَكْتَتَيْنِ إِذَادَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ فَكَتَبُوا إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ يَسْأَلُونَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ أَنْ صَدَقَ سَمُرَةُ  

I remember two period of silence in prayer, one when the imam said the takbir; and one when he finished reciting the Fatihah and the surah when he was about to bow. But Imran ibn Husayn took it as something strange. So they wrote about it to Ubayy (ibn Ka'b) in Medina. He verified the statement of Samurah. Abu Dawud said: Humaid also narrated in this tradition the words "and one period silence when he finished the recitation (of the Qur'an)" (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 777)   

سَمُرَةُ حَفِظْتُ سَكْتَتَيْنِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ سَكْتَةٌ إِذَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ حَتَّى يَقْرَأَ وَسَكْتَةٌ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ عِنْدَ الرُّكُوعِ قَالَ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ فَكَتَبُوا إِلَى أُبَيٍّ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ فَصَدَقَ سَمُرَةُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to remain silent during his prayer and after finishing recitation. Imran ibn Husain disapproved of this and they wrote to Ubay ibn Ka'b about it, and he wrote back saying that Samurah was telling the truth.  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْكُتُ سَكْتَتَيْنِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ» فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ فَكَتَبُوا فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ صَدَقَ سَمُرَةُ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , there was a pause when he would make takbeer (say "Allahu Akbar") and a pause when he finished reciting the Surah. Imran bin Husain was disturbed by this, so they wrote to Ubay bin Ka'b about it. Ubay wrote back, confirming that Samurah had indeed memorized the narration from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَكْتَةً إِذَا كَبَّرَ وَسَكْتَةً إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ السُّورَةِ» فَعَابَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ فَكَتَبُوا إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ أُبَيٌّ صَدَقَ سَمُرَةُ وَيَقُولُ إِنَّ سَمُرَةَ حَفِظَ الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Samurah said, "I have memorized two pauses during prayer: a pause when the imam says the takbir until he recites, and a pause when he completes the Fatiha and a surah when bowing." Imran ibn Husayn objected to this, and they wrote to Ubayy in Medina about it. Ubayy confirmed Samurah's statement, and it is also said that Hushaym narrated from Yunus that when the imam recites {not those who have gone astray} [Al-Fatiha 7], he pauses without mentioning the surah. Humayd al-Tawil narrated from Hasan that there is a pause when one finishes recitation. Ash'ath narrated from Hasan that there is a pause after finishing all recitation. It is possible that this interpretation came from a narration from Hasan; hence the disagreement and this indicates it.  

قَالَ سَمُرَةُ حَفِظْتُ سَكْتَتَيْنِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ سَكْتَةً إِذَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ حَتَّى يَقْرَأَ وَسَكْتَةً إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ عِنْدَ الرُّكُوعِ قَالَ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ فَكَتَبُوا فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى أُبَيٍّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَصَدَّقَ سَمُرَةَ وَقِيلَ عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ وَإِذَا قَرَأَ {وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ} [الفاتحة 7] سَكَتَ سَكْتَةً وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ السُّورَةَ وَقَالَ حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَسَكْتَةً إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَقَالَ أَشْعَثُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ كُلِّهَا وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا التَّفْسِيرُ وَقَعَ مِنْ رِوَايَةٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ؛ فَلِذَلِكَ اخْتَلَفُوا وَيَدُلُّ عَلَيْهِ
