عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَقْرَمَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ

“I was with my father on the plain in Namirah,* when some riders passed us and made their camels kneel down at the side of the road. My father said to me: ‘Stay with your lambs until I go to those people and see what they want.’ He said: Then he (my father) went out and I came, (i.e., I came near,) then there was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the time for prayer came so I prayed with them, and I was looking at the whiteness of the armpits of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ every time he prostrated.” Ibn Majah said: The people say ʿUbaidullah bin ʿAbdullah, but Abu Bakr bin Abu Shaibah said: "The people say ʿAbdullah bin ʿUbaidullah." Muhammad bin Bashshar said: "ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Mahdi, Safwan bin ʿEisa and Abu Dawud all said: 'Dawud bin Qais narrated to us, from ʿUbaidullah bin ʿAbdullah bin Aqram, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ.'" With similar wording.  

كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بِالْقَاعِ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ فَمَرَّ بِنَا رَكْبٌ فَأَنَاخُوا بِنَاحِيَةِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي كُنْ فِي بَهْمِكَ حَتَّى آتِيَ هَؤُلاَءِ الْقَوْمَ فَأُسَائِلَهُمْ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ وَجِئْتُ يَعْنِي دَنَوْتُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَضَرْتُ الصَّلاَةَ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَكُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَتَىْ إِبْطَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلَّمَا سَجَدَ قَالَ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ وَصَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَقْرَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ  

[Machine] He was with his father in the valley of Namirah. He said, "Then a caravan passed by us, so my father took us to the side of the road. My father said, 'My son, wait for them until I ask them.'"

He approached them and I approached him, and the prayer was established. Suddenly, among them was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So I prayed with them, and it was as if I was looking at the armpits of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he prostrated.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ أَبِيهِ بِالْقَاعِ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ قَالَ فَمَرَّ بِنَا رَكْبٌ فَأَنَاخُوا بِنَاحِيَةِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ أَبِي أَيْ بُنَيَّ كُنْ فِيبَهْمِكَ حَتَّى آتِيَ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّكْبَ فَأُسَائِلَهُمْ قَالَ دَنَا مِنْهُمْ وَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَإِذَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُمْ وَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَتَيْ إِبْطَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَجَدَ  

[Machine] Al-Qa'ani reported that Dawud ibn Qais narrated from Ubaidullah ibn Abdullah ibn Akram, from his father, that he was with his father in a place called al-Qa'a, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer. He said, "I used to look at the armpits of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whenever he prostrated."  

ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَقْرَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ أَبِيهِ بِالْقَاعِ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُصَلِّي فَكُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَتَيْ إِبْطَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلَّمَا سَجَدَ»  

[Machine] "He was with his father in the valley of Namarah when a caravan passed by them. They moved aside from the road, and my father told me to stay hidden until I get closer to those caravans so that I can ask the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . So, I approached until the prayer was established, and behold, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was among them. I looked at the armpits of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , every time he prostrated. Ya'qub said, 'He said so from Namarah, and the correct one is Sumrah.' He made an error in it just as Ibn Mubarak did."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ أَبِيهِ بِالْقَاعِ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ فَمَرَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَكْبٌ فَأَنَاخُوا بِنَاحِيَةِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي كُنْ فِي بَهْمِكَ حَتَّى أَدْنُوَ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّكْبِ أُسَائِلُهُ قَالَ فَدَنَا وَدَنَوْتُ حَتَّى أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ فَكُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَتَيْ إِبِطَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كُلَّمَا سَجَدَ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ هَكَذَا قَالَ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ وَالصَّحِيحُ ثَمِرَةُ أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ كَمَا أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَيْضًا
