Hadith 16

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – from Al Khaleel, from Al-Husayn Bin Hamdan, from Ismail Bin Masoud, from Yazeed Bin Zareeh, from Saeed Bin Abu Aroubah, from Qatada, from Al-Hassan, ‘Samura Bin Jundab and Imran Bin Huseen had a discussion. Samura narrated that he had memorised two pauses from Rasool-Allah-saww, a pause when he-saww exclaimed Takbeer, and a pause when he-saww was free from his-saww recitation at his-saww Ruk’u. Then Qatada mentioned another silence, when he-saww was free from reciting: other than of those You are Wrathful upon nor of the straying ones [1: 7] – i. e. , Samura had memorised that and Imran Bin Huseen denied it upon him’. He (the narrator) said, ‘They both wrote regarding that to Ubayy Bin Ka’ab, and it was (mentioned) in his letter to them, or in his response to them, ‘Samura has memorised (preserved correctly)’’. [29] (not a Hadeeth)
Notes (Ahadeeth only) –
A report by Is’hat Bin Ammar, from Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws father-asws: ’ Two men from companions of Rasool-Allah-saww differed regarding Rasool-Allah-azwj. They wrote to Ubayy Bin Ka’ab, ‘How many pauses were there for Rasool-Allah-saww? ’ He said, ‘There were two pauses for him – when he-saww was free from Mother of the Book (Surah Al-Fatiha), and when he-asws was free from the Chapter’. (p. s. not a Hadeeth)
And in a report by Hammad: ‘Measurement of the pause after the Chapter, is a breath’’. And Ibn Al Jundab said, ‘It is reported by Samura and Ubayy Bin Ka’ab, from the Prophet-saww: ‘The first pause is after the initial Takbeer, and the second is after (Surah) Al-Hamd’’.
