English Translation

‘Affān narrated to us, Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Ḥumayd, from al-Ḥasan, from Samurah ibn Jundub: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe two pauses of silence: when he entered the prayer and when he finished the recitation. ‘Imrān ibn Ḥuṣayn disputed this, and they wrote to Ubayy ibn Ka‘b in Medina, who wrote back: Samurah spoke the truth.
