“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] He used to remain silent for a while after he finished praying with them. And when he recited the verse "Not the path of those who have evoked [Your] anger" (Al-Fatiha 7), he remained silent for a short moment. They objected to this, so he wrote to Ubay ibn Ka'b and Ubay wrote back to them that what Samurah did was correct.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى بِهِمْ سَكَتَ سَكْتَتَيْنِ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا قَالَ {وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ} [الفاتحة 7] سَكَتَ أَيْضًا هُنَيَّةً فَأَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ أُبَيٌّ أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ كَمَا صَنَعَ سَمُرَةُ  

[Machine] When he finished reciting the Surah, he remained silent for a while. Imran ibn Husayn criticized him for that, so they wrote to Ubay ibn Ka'b and Ubay confirmed his statement.  

كَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ سَكَتَ هُنَيَّةً وَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ السُّورَةِ سَكَتَ هُنَيَّةً فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ فَكَتَبُوا إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَكَتَبَ أُبَيٌّ يُصَدِّقُهُ  

[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  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to remain silent when he entered prayer and when he finished reciting. Imran ibn Husayn disapproved of this and they wrote to Ubay ibn Ka'b. He replied to them saying that Samurah was telling the truth. Abu Muhammad says Qatadah used to say three silences, and in the raised narration, there are two silences.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَسْكُتُ سَكْتَتَيْنِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ فَكَتَبُوا إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ قَدْ صَدَقَ سَمُرَةُ قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ كَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَقُولُ ثَلَاثُ سَكَتَاتٍ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ الْمَرْفُوعِ سَكْتَتَانِ  

[Machine] About the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I mentioned that to Imran ibn Husayn and he said, "We learned the silent pauses, so we wrote to Ubayy ibn Ka'b in Al Madinah and he wrote to me that Samurah has memorized them," Said said. So we asked Qatadah, "What are these silent pauses?" He said, "When he enters into his prayer and when he finishes reciting."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ فَقَالَ حَفِظْنَا سَكْتَةً فَكَتَبْنَا إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّ سَمُرَةَ قَدْ حَفِظَ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ فَقُلْنَا لِقَتَادَةَ وَمَا هَاتَانِ السَّكْتَتَانِ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ»  

[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
