Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَسْلَمَ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ تَبِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى يَدِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرِئْنِي مِنْ سُورَةِ هُودٍ وَمِنْ سُورَةِ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ شَيْئًا أَبْلَغَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ»
English Translation
Ahmad bin Ali bin al-Muthanna narrated to us, Affan narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, he said: Thabit narrated to us from Anas bin Malik who said: I have not seen anything more like the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) than the prayer of this young man - meaning Umar bin Abd al-Aziz. We estimated his bowing to be about ten takbirs and his prostration about the same.
