English translation

739. Maimūn Al-Makkī said that he saw ‘Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair lead them in prayer. He would motion with his hands when he stood up,[1] and when he went into Rukū', and when he went into prostration, and when he stood up (from the prostration) — he would motion with his hands (at all of these places). Maimūn said: "So I went to Ibn 'Abbās, and said: 'I saw Ibn Az-Zubair pray a prayer like no one else I have seen,' and I described for him these motions. He replied: 'If you wish to see the prayer of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, then follow the prayer of 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair.''" (Da'if)

Arabic text

739 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُبَيْرَةَ، عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ الْمَكِّيِّ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، «وَصَلَّى بِهِمْ يُشِيرُ بِكَفَّيْهِ حِينَ يَقُومُ وَحِينَ يَرْكَعُ وَحِينَ يَسْجُدُ وَحِينَ يَنْهَضُ لِلْقِيَامِ، فَيَقُومُ فَيُشِيرُ بِيَدَيْهِ» فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا يُصَلِّيهَا فَوَصَفْتُ لَهُ هَذِهِ الْإِشَارَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاقْتَدِ بِصَلَاةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ
