Muwatta Malik #376
Shortening the Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْقَارِئِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ إِذَا أَهْوَى لِيَسْجُدَ مَسَحَ الْحَصْبَاءَ لِمَوْضِعِ جَبْهَتِهِ مَسْحًا خَفِيفًا .
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abu Jafar al-Qari said, "I
saw Abdullah ibn Umar quickly brush away the small stones from the
place where he was going to put his forehead as he was going down into
sajda."
