ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ قَدْ يُوهِمُ غَيْرَ الْمُتَبَحِّرِ فِي صِنَاعَةِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّهُ يُضَادُّ خَبَرَ الْبَرَاءِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ

[Machine] "To pray with you as I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying with us," Thabit said, "I saw Anas ibn Malik doing something that I do not see you doing. When he raised his head from bowing, he would stand until the person saying 'He forgot' would say it, and when he raised his head from the first prostration, he would sit until the person saying 'He forgot' would say it."  

ابن حبّان:١٨٨٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ إِنِّي لَا آلُو

أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ بِكُمْ كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِنَا قَالَ ثَابِتٌ رَأَيْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَصْنَعُ شَيْئًا لَا أَرَاكُمْ تَصْنَعُونَهُ «كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَامَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ لَقَدْ نَسِيَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ الْأُولَى قَعَدَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ لَقَدْ نَسِيَ»

bukhari:821Sulaymān b. Ḥarb > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Thābit > Anas > Innī Lā Ālū

Anas said, "I will leave no stone unturned in making you offer the prayer as I have seen the Prophet ﷺ making us offer it." Anas used to do a thing which I have not seen you doing. He used to stand after the bowing for such a long time that one would think that he had forgotten (the prostrations) and he used to sit in-between the prostrations so long that one would think that he had forgotten the second prostration.  

البخاري:٨٢١حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ إِنِّي لاَ آلُو

أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ بِكُمْ كَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِنَا قَالَ ثَابِتٌ كَانَ أَنَسٌ يَصْنَعُ شَيْئًا لَمْ أَرَكُمْ تَصْنَعُونَهُ كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَامَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ قَدْ نَسِيَ وَبَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ قَدْ نَسِيَ  

muslim:472Khalaf b. Hishām > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Thābit > Anas > Innī Lā Ālū

While leading you in prayer I do not shorten anything in the prayer. I pray as I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ leading us. He (Thabit) said: Anas used to do that which I do not see you doing; when he lifted his head from bowing he stood up (so long) that one would say: He has forgotten (to baw down in prostration). And when he lifted his head from prostration, he stayed in that position, till someone would say: He has forgotten (to bow down in prostration for the second sajda).  

مسلم:٤٧٢حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ إِنِّي لاَ آلُو

أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ بِكُمْ كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِنَا قَالَ فَكَانَ أَنَسٌ يَصْنَعُ شَيْئًا لاَ أَرَاكُمْ تَصْنَعُونَهُ كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ انْتَصَبَ قَائِمًا حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ قَدْ نَسِيَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ مَكَثَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ قَدْ نَسِيَ
