Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ مَوْهُوبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَزْهَرَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُخَالِفُ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ مَا يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةً مَتَى تُوَافِقُهَا أُصَلِّي مَعَكَ وَمَتَى تُخَالِفُهَا أُصَلِّي وَأَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِي.
English Translation
Harun ibn Ma'ruf narrated to us: Ibn Wahb narrated to us, saying: Ibn Abi Dhi'b narrated to me, from Mawhub ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Azhar, from Anas ibn Malik: that he used to differ from 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz [in prayer]. 'Umar said to him: "What makes you do this?" He said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, praying a prayer; whenever it matches yours I pray with you, and whenever it differs I pray [separately] and return to my family."
