Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ بْنِ الْبَغْدَادِيِّ بِهَرَاةَ أنبأ مُعَاذُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا كَامِلُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ ثنا حَمَّادٌ هُوَ ابْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنِ الْأَزْرَقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اعْتَمَدَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ بِيَدَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لِوَلَدِهِ وَلِجُلَسَائِهِ لَعَلَّهُ يَفْعَلُ هَذَا مِنَ الْكِبَرِ؟ قَالُوا لَا وَلَكِنْ هَذَا يَكُونُ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ إِذَا نَهَضَ وَكَذَلِكَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ الْحَسَنُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ
English Translation
Al-Azraq ibn Qays said: "I saw Ibn Umar, when he stood from the second rak'ah, lean on the ground with his hands. I asked his children and companions: 'Perhaps he does this because of old age?' They said: 'No, this is how it is done.'" It was also narrated from Nafi' that Ibn Umar would lean on his hands when rising, and al-Hasan and others among the Tabi'in did the same.
