Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ اجْتَمِعُوا أُصَلِّي بِكُمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَالَ هَلْ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ قَالُوا لَا إِلَّا ابْنُ أُخْتٍ لَنَا قَالَ ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ فَدَعَا بِجَفْنَةٍ فِيهَا مَاءٌ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَظَهْرَ قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِمْ فَكَبَّرَ بِهِمْ ثِنْتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً يُكَبِّرُ إِذَا سَجَدَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ السُّجُودِ وَقَرَأَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَأَسْمَعَ مَنْ يَلِيهِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us: Sa'id narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Shahr ibn Hawshab, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghanm, from Abu Malik al-Ash'ari, that he said to his people: 'Gather, and I will lead you in the prayer of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.' When they had gathered, he said: 'Is there among you anyone who is not one of you?' They said: 'No, except a nephew of ours, the son of our sister.' He said: 'The sister's son of a people is one of them.' So he called for a basin containing water, performed ablution, rinsed his mouth and inhaled water into his nose, washed his face three times and his forearms three times each, wiped over his head and the backs of his feet, then led them in prayer, saying 'Allahu Akbar' with them twenty-two times, saying the takbir whenever he prostrated and whenever he raised his head from prostration, and he recited the Opening of the Book (al-Fatihah) in the two rak'ahs, making it audible to whoever was next to him.
