ahmad:4272 – Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Sulaymān

[Machine] From Ibrahim, it was narrated that Al-Aswad and 'Alqamah were with Abdullah in the house. Abdullah asked, "Who are these?" They replied, "Yes." Abdullah then prayed with them without calling the adhan or iqamah. He stood in the middle of them and said, "If you are three, do it like this, and if you are more, then let one of you lead the prayer and the others should place their hands between their thighs when they bow, as if I am looking at the different fingers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

أحمد:٤٢٧٢ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ

عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَأَنَّ الْأَسْوَدَ وَعَلْقَمَةَ كَانَا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي الدَّارِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ صَلَّى هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ وَقَامَ وَسَطَهُمْ وَقَالَ إِذَا كُنْتُمْ ثَلَاثَةً فَاصْنَعُوا هَكَذَا فَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ أَكْثَرَ فَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلْيَضَعْ أَحَدُكُمْ يَدَيْهِ بَيْنَ فَخِذَيْهِ إِذَا رَكَعَ فَلْيَحْنَأْ فَكَأَنَّمَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى اخْتِلَافِ أَصَابِعِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

nasai:1029 – Ismāʿīl b. Masʿūd > Khālid b. al-Ḥārith > Shuʿbah > Sulaymān > Ibrāhīm

They were with 'Abdullah in his house and he said: "Have these people prayed?" We said: "Yes." So he led them in prayer and stood between them, with no Adhan and no Iqamah, and said: "If you are three then do this, and if you are more than that then let one of you lead the others in prayer, and let him lay his hands on his thighs. It is as if I can see the fingers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, interlaced.'"

عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ وَالأَسْوَدِ أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَقَالَ أَصَلَّى هَؤُلاَءِ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَأَمَّهُمَا وَقَامَ بَيْنَهُمَا بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلاَ إِقَامَةٍ قَالَ إِذَا كُنْتُمْ ثَلاَثَةً فَاصْنَعُوا هَكَذَا وَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلْيَفْرِشْ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى اخْتِلاَفِ أَصَابِعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
