Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ «أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذْ كُنَّا بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ نُودِيَ الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ فَصَلَّى بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرُوا وَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الْأُخْرَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَانِ»
English Translation
Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: We came with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) until we were at Dhat al-Riqa'. The call was made for congregational prayer. He prayed two rak'ahs with one group, then they moved back, and he prayed two rak'ahs with the other group. Thus it was four rak'ahs for the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and two rak'ahs for the people.
