bayhaqi:2730Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > Muḥammad b. Sinān al-Qazzāz > Abū ʿĀṣim > ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Jaʿfar > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. ʿAṭāʾ

[Machine] I heard Abu Humaid Al-Sa'idi discussing ten of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , one of whom was Abu Qatadah. He mentioned a hadith about the description of the Prophet's prayer ﷺ , saying that after sujood, he would lean on the ground and separate his hands from his sides, then he would raise his head and bend his left leg, sitting on it.  

البيهقي:٢٧٣٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْقَزَّازُ ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ فِي عَشَرَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيهِمْ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي صِفَةِ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ يَهْوِي سَاجِدًا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَيُجَافِي يَدَيْهِ عَنْ جَنْبَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ فَيَثْنِي رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى فَيَقْعُدُ عَلَيْهَا

[Machine] I heard Abu Humaid Al-Sa'idi talk about ten of the Prophet's companions, among them Abu Qatada. He mentioned the hadith about the description of the Prophet's prayer, in which he mentions the prostration part. Then he raises his head saying "Allah is the Greatest" and then he bends his leg and sits on it, maintaining balance until every bone returns to its place, also balanced.
