[1058] 194 - (...) It was narrated that Al-Ḥakam said: "Al-Kûfah was taken over by a man - and he named him - at the time of Ibn Al-Ash'ath. He commanded Abû 'Ubaidah bin 'Abdullâh to lead the people in prayer, and he used to pray, when he raised his head from bowing, he would stand for as long as it takes to say: 'Allâhumma! Rabbanâ lakal- hamdu mil'as-samâwâti wa mil'al-ardî wa mil'a mâ sh'ita min shay'in ba'du, ahlath-thanâ'i wal-majdi, lâ mânî'a limâ a'taïta, wa lâ mu'tî limâ man'at, wa lâ yanfa'u dhâl-jaddi minkal-jadd. (O Allâh, our Lord, to You be praise, filling the heavens, filling the earth, and filling whatever You will besides that, Lord of Glory and Majesty, none can withhold what You bestow and none can bestow what You withhold, nor can the fortune of the fortunate avail him anything before You.)" Al-Ḥakam said: "I mentioned that to 'Abdur-Raḥmân bin Abî Laila and he said: 'I heard Al-Barâ' bin 'Azib say: "The Salât of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, his bowing, when he lifted his head from bowing, his prostration and his (sitting) between the two prostrations were almost all equal in length." Shu'bah said: "I mentioned that to 'Amr bin Murrah and he said: 'I saw Ibn Abî Laila, and his prayer was not like that."

194 - (471) وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ: غَلَبَ عَلَى الْكُوفَةِ رَجُلٌ - قَدْ سَمَّاهُ - زَمَنَ ابْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ، فَأَمَرَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ، فَكَانَ يُصَلِّيَ، فَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَامَ قَدْرَ مَا أَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، مِلْءُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمِلْءُ الْأَرْضِ، وَمِلْءُ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدُ، أَهْلَ الثَّنَاءِ وَالْمَجْدِ، لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ. قَالَ الْحَكَمُ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ: «كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرُكُوعُهُ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ، وَسُجُودُهُ، وَمَا بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ، قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ» قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِعَمْرِو بْنَ مُرَّةَ فَقَالَ: قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ صَلَاتُهُ هَكَذَا.
