English Translation

It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via 'Isam ibn Khalid, from Shu'ayb ibn Abi Hamza; and Abu al-Yaman said: Shu'ayb ibn Abi Hamza, from al-Zuhri, from Salim ibn 'Abdullah — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform voluntary prayers while on the back of his riding camel, not caring in which direction he faced, nodding his head [for the movements of prayer]. And Ibn 'Umar used to do the same.
