258. Abū ‘Abdur-Raḥmān As-Sulamī said: “Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb [may Allāh be pleased with him] said to us: ‘The knees are the Sunnah for you, so hold the knees.’” (Ṣaḥīḥ) He said: There are narrations on this topic from Sa’d, Anas, Abū Ḥumaid, Abū Usaid, Sahl bin Sa’d, Muḥammad bin Maslamah, and Abū Mas’ūd. Abū ‘Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of ‘Umar is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. The people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, the Tābi‘īn and those after them act according to this. There is no disagreement among them on that, except what is reported about Ibn Mas’ūd and some of his companions; that they would hold their hands together, but holding the hands together was abrogated according to the people of knowledge.

٢٥٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو حَصِينٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا ‌عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : «إِنَّ الرُّكَبَ سُنَّتْ لَكُمْ»، فَخُذُوا بِالرُّكَبِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ، وَأَنَسٍ، وَأَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، وَأَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، وَسَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ، وَأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ. حَدِيثُ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ، لَا اخْتِلَافَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَّا مَا رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُطَبِّقُونَ. وَالتَّطْبِيقُ مَنْسُوخٌ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ.
