أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُکَيْنٍ وَيَحْيَی بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَعَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُکَبِّرُ فِي کُلِّ خَفْضٍ وَرَفْعٍ وَقِيَامٍ وَقُعُودٍ وَيُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ حَتَّی يُرَی بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ قَالَ وَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَفْعَلَانِ ذَلِکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1147
It was narrated from ‘Abdur Rahman bin Al-Aswad from his father — and ‘Alqamah — that ‘Abdullah said: “I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم say the Takbir every time he went down and got up, or stood or sat; he said the Salam on his right and his left: ‘As-salamu ‘alaykum wa ra (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah),’ until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen.” He said: “And I saw Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, doing the same.” (Sahih)
