English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id told us, from Hisham: Qatada told us, from Anas, from Zayd ibn Thabit — and Yazid said: Hammam informed us, from Qatada, from Anas, from Zayd ibn Thabit — and Waki' [said]: al-Dastuwa'i told us, from Qatada, from Anas, from Zayd ibn Thabit, who said: We ate the pre-dawn meal with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and went out to the mosque, and the prayer was called. I said: "How much time was between them?" He said: "About the time a man recites fifty verses." Yazid said in his narration: I said to Zayd: "How much was between them?" He said: "About fifty verses."
