أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ أَنَا وَعِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ خَلْفَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَکَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ کَبَّرَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ السُّجُودِ کَبَّرَ وَإِذَا نَهَضَ مِنْ الرَّکْعَتَيْنِ کَبَّرَ فَلَمَّا قَضَی أَخَذَ عِمْرَانُ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ لَقَدْ ذَکَّرَنِي هَذَا قَالَ کَلِمَةً يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1087
It was narrated that Mutarrif said: “Imran bin Ilusaifl and I prayed behind ‘Ali bin Abi Talib. When he prostrated he said the Takbir, and when he raised his head from prostration he said the Takbir, and when he stood up following two Rak’ahs he said the Takbir, and when he had finished praying, ‘Imran took my hand and said: ‘This reminded me of – he said aword meaning – the prayer of Muhammad a.” (Sahih)
