حدثنا أحمد بن حنبل وأحمد بن محمد بن شبويه ومحمد بن رافع ومحمد بن عبد الملك الغزال قالوا حدثنا عبد الرزاق عن معمر عن إسمعيل بن أمية عن نافع
نهى رسول الله ﷺ قال أحمد بن حنبل أن يجلس الرجل في الصلاة وهو معتمد على يده وقال ابن شبويه نهى أن يعتمد الرجل على يده في الصلاة وقال ابن رافع نهى أن يصلي الرجل وهو معتمد على يده وذكره في باب الرفع من السجود وقال ابن عبد الملك نهى أن يعتمد الرجل على يديه إذا نهض في الصلاة
[Sahih] Bayhaqi narrated it, 2/135, from the hadith of Abu Dawud with the same wording. It is also found in Musnad Imam Ahmad, 2/147, and Musannaf Abdul-Razzaq, 2/197, hadith no. 3054. Hakim graded it sahih according to the criteria of the two sheikhs, 1/230, and Dhahabi agreed with him.As for the narration of Muhammad bin Abdul-Malik Ghazzal, it is daif, because they did not specify whether he heard it from Abdul-Razzaq before or after his memory became confused. It is also shadhdh, since it contradicts the reliable narrators.
