Mishkat al-Masabih #859
Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ كَأَنَّهُ عَلَى الرَّضْفِ حَتَّى يَقُومَ. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ
‘Abdallah b. Mas'ud said that in the first two rak'as the Prophet was as though he were on heated stones till he got up.*
*A figurative phrase to express the shortening of the sitting during the tashahhud.
Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it.
