English Translation
It was also narrated through Harun ibn Sufyan from Yahya ibn Ishaq who said Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us from Qatadah from Anas. Abu Bakr said: I believe Yahya ibn Ishaq erred in this, and Sa'id ibn Bashir is not relied upon when he narrates alone. The preserved hadith is narrated by Hammad ibn Salamah and others from Qatadah from Anas that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'When one of you prays, let him not spread his forearms on the ground like a dog or a predatory animal.' This is the correct hadith according to us, and Allah knows best.
