Hadith #429

Arabic Text

English Translation

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us, Shuʿbah narrated to us, who said: I heard ʿAbd Rabbihi ibn Saʿīd narrating, from Anas ibn Abī Anas, from ʿAbdullāh ibn Nāfiʿ ibn al-ʿAmyāʾ, from ʿAbdullāh ibn al-Ḥārith, from al-Muṭṭalib, from the Prophet ﷺ who said: "The prayer is two by two. You make tashahhud in every two rakʿahs, show humility and neediness, raise your hands and say: 'O Allah, O Allah.' Whoever does not do this, his prayer is deficient." Ḥajjāj said: "And raise your hands." Ḥajjāj narrated to us, who said: I heard Shuʿbah say: I heard ʿAbd Rabbihi ibn Saʿīd narrating, from Anas ibn Abī Anas — from the people of Egypt — from ʿAbdullāh ibn Nāfiʿ ibn al-ʿAmyāʾ, from ʿAbdullāh ibn al-Ḥārith, from al-Muṭṭalib, from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "The prayer is two by two" — and he mentioned the same.
