With this same chain, from ʿAmr ibn Murrah, who said:
“I once prayed behind Saʿīd ibn Jubayr. He began by reciting, ‘In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,’ then recited, ‘…nor those who go astray,’ after which he again recited, ‘In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.’ He would not pronounce the takbīr in full, and he ended the prayer with a single salutation (1).”
Aḥmad ibn Hibat Allah informed us, through ʿAbd al-Muʿizz ibn Muḥammad; Tamīm ibn Abī Saʿīd related to us; Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān related to us; Abū ʿAmr ibn Ḥamdān related to us; Abū Yaʿlā al-Mawṣilī related to us; ʿAlī ibn al-Jaʿd narrated to us; Shuʿbah informed us, from ʿAmr ibn Murrah:
“I heard Yaḥyā ibn al-Jazzār—on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās—say:
‘A boy from Banū Hāshim and I came riding on a donkey. We passed in front of the Prophet ﷺ while he was praying. We dismounted and left the animal to feed on the earth’s herbage—or, he said, on the earth’s vegetation—then we joined him in the prayer. A man asked, “Was there a small spear (ʿanaza) in front of him?” He replied, “No.”’ (2)
75 – Saʿīd ibn ʿAmr ibn Saʿīd al-Umawī * (B, M)
The son of al-ʿĀṣ ibn Abī Uḥayḥa, a Qurashī, Umayyad, Medinan by origin and later a resident of Kūfah.
He was with his father ʿAmr al-Ashdaq when the latter took control of Damascus. ʿAbd al-Malik granted him safe-conduct, then betrayed him and had him slaughtered (3). After that, Saʿīd led his family to Medina.
