أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَحَامِدُ بْنَ يَحْيَى وَابْنُ السَّرْحِ قَالُوا ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى سُ��ْرَةٍ فَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا لَا يَقْطَعِ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ وَاقِدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَاخْتُلِفَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ
English Translation
Abu Ali al-Rudhbari informed us, Muhammad ibn Bakr informed us, Abu Dawud narrated to us, Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah, Hamid ibn Yahya, and Ibn al-Sarh narrated to us, they said: Sufyan narrated to us from Safwan ibn Sulaym from Nafi' ibn Jubayr from Sahl ibn Abi Hathmah, attributing it to the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said: 'When one of you prays facing a sutrah, let him draw close to it so that the Shaytan does not interrupt his prayer.' Abu Dawud said: Waqid ibn Muhammad narrated it from Safwan from Muhammad ibn Sahl from his father — or from Muhammad ibn Sahl — from the Prophet (peace be upon him). Some said from Nafi' ibn Jubayr from Sahl ibn Sa'd, and there is disagreement in its chain.
