[Machine] I prayed behind a man in Mecca who made two prostrations after the prayer and I mentioned that to Abdullah. He asked, "How did he understand that?" Al-Hakam said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that."  

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَجُلٍ بِمَكَّةَ فَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمَتَيْنِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَنَّى عَقَلَهَا؟ وَقَالَ الْحَكَمُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "That the imam of the people of Mecca, may ﷺ , performed two salutations, so I mentioned it to Abdullah. Abdullah said, 'How did he perform them?'"  

أَنَّ إِمَامًا لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمَتَيْنِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَنَّى عَلِقَهَا؟  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to greet by saying "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah" with his right hand until the whiteness of his right cheek was visible, and with his left hand until the whiteness of his left cheek was visible. This is a hadith.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْسَرِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands in every takbeer, as well as in every raf', wudu', qiyam, and sitting. He used to give salutations from his right side and his left side, until I could see the whiteness of his cheeks in both of them. I also saw Abu Bakr and Umar doing the same. And Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, narrating from Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, narrating from al-Hasan ibn Mukram, narrating from Abu al-Nadr, narrating from Abu Khaythamah, narrating from Abu Ishaq, narrating from Abu Bakr ibn al-Hasan al-Qadi who reported that Abu Ja'far ibn Duheim informed him, narrating from Ahmad ibn Hazim, narrating from Ishaq ibn Mansur al-Saluli, narrating from Israil and Zuhair, narrating from Abu Ishaq with similar words, and he added, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah," and "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah," and "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah." And I saw Abu Bakr and Umar doing the same. And likewise.  

أَنَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُكَبِّرُ فِي كُلِّ رَفْعٍ وَوَضْعٍ وَقِيَامٍ وَقُعُودٍ وَيُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ حَتَّى أَرَى بَيَاضَ خَدَّيْهِ فِي كِلَيْهِمَا وَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ يَفْعَلَانِ ذَلِكَ 2976 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ ثنا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ثنا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ثنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرِ بْنُ دُحَيْمٍ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ السَّلُولِيُّ ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ وَزُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَزَادَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ يَفْعَلَانِهِ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] What I have not forgotten is that I always used to greet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer from his right and his left saying, "Peace and mercy be upon you." Then he said, "It is as if I am looking at the whiteness of his cheeks, like this."  

مَا نَسِيتُ مِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ تَسْلِيمَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِ خَدَّيْهِ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to greet with his right hand and his left hand, until his cheek was visible saying, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah." This is reported by Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and Jabir bin Samurah from the Prophet ﷺ.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ خَدُّهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَهُوَ ثَابِتٌ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَجَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

[Machine] I used to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ greet with his right hand and with his left hand, until I could see the whiteness of his cheek.  

كُنْتُ أَرَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ حَتَّى أَرَى بَيَاضَ خَدِّهِ  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offering the prayer with two greetings. One greeting with his right hand saying, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah," and one greeting with his left hand saying, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, until the whiteness of his cheeks could be seen from here and here." So, I mentioned this hadith to Az-Zuhri and he said, "This is a hadith that I have not heard from the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So, Isma'il bin Muhammad said to him, "Have you eaten the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?'' He said, "No.'' He said, "So, have you heard two-thirds of it?'' He said, "No.'' He said, "Then have you heard half of it?'' Az-Zuhri stood at half or two-thirds of it and said to him, "Put this hadith in what you have not heard.''  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ تَسْلِيمَتَيْنِ تَسْلِيمَةً عَنْ يَمِينِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَتَسْلِيمَةً عَنْ يَسَارِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدَّيْهِ مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ فَقَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَكُلَّ حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتَ؟ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ لَا قَالَ فَثُلُثَيْهِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَنِصْفَهُ؟ فَوَقَفَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عِنْدَ النِّصْفِ أَوْ عِنْدَ الثُّلُثِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ اجْعَلْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِيمَا لَمْ تَسْمَعْ  

[Machine] When we used to pray behind the Prophet ﷺ , we would say as a sign with his index finger: "Peace be upon you, peace be upon you." The Prophet ﷺ then said to us, "Why do some people throw their hands during prayer as if they were the tails of wild horses at sunset? Is it not enough for one of you to place his hand on his thigh and then say the salaam by turning his hand to the right and left?"  

كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قُلْنَا يَعْنِي الْإِشَارَةَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ السَّبَابَةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ لَنَا يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَرْمُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ الْخَيْلِ الشُّمْسِ أَمَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَهُمْ أَوْ أَحَدَكُمْ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ  

[Machine] Regarding the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Allah is greater every time Allah is greater every time he lowers (his hands), then he says, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah" to his right "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah" to his left. Its chain of narration was established by Hajjaj ibn Muhammad and a group, and parts of it were omitted by Ibn Jurayj. Abdul-Aziz ibn Muhammad Ad-Darawardi differed in it from Amr ibn Yahya. And whoever establishes it has an argument and is not harmed by the differing of those who opposed him. Allah knows best.  

عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ كُلَّمَا وَضَعَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ كُلَّمَا رَفَعَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَقَامَ إِسْنَادَهُ حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَجَمَاعَةٌ وَقَصَرَ بِهِ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَاخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى وَمَنْ أَقَامَهُ حُجَّةٌ فَلَا يَضُرُّهُ خِلَافُ مَنْ خَالَفَهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] He prayed with the Messenger of Allah and mentioned the hadith and he indicated about his right and his left, and likewise.  

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] From Abu Razin, and he added in it, "Peace be upon you, peace be upon you."  

عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ وَزَادَ فِيهِ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ
