وَعَنِ ابْنً جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ
يَقُولُ: «مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةً بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مِنْ هَذَا الْفَتَى يَعْنِي عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: قَالَ: فَحَزَرْنَا رُكُوعَهُ عَشْرَ تَسْبِيحَاتٍ وَسُجُودَهُ عَشْرَ تَسْبِيحَاتٍ»
He heard Anas ibn Malik declare, “After the death of God’s Messenger I never prayed behind anyone whose prayer more closely resembled that of God’s Messenger than this young man,” meaning Umar ibn Abd al-‘AzIz.* He reported him as saying, ‘I computed that he uttered ten tasbihas when bowing and ten when prostrating himself.’ * He was Caliph from 99 to 101 A.H. and was noted for his piety. Abu Dawud and Nasai transmitted it.’
