bayhaqi:7055Abū Saʿīd b. Abū ʿAmr > Abū al-ʿAbbās > al-Rabīʿ > al-Shāfiʿī > Baʿḍ Aṣḥābinā from my father

[Machine] Al-'Abbas informed Ar-Rabi', who informed Ash-Shafi'i, who informed some of our companions, from Abu az-Zinad, Rabi'ah, and Abu an-Nadr, that there is no disagreement among them regarding the fact that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed by holding his head, and Abu Bakr and Umar did the same. The Shaykh said, "This is the famous opinion among the people of Al-Hijaz."
