باب آداب النوم - ذكر استعمال المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم الفعل الذي يضاد في الظاهر الخبر الذي ذكرناه-
Chapter on Etiquette of Sleep – On the Prophet’s action that appears contrary to the previous narration
Hadith Number: 5552
اخبرنا عمر بن سعيد بن سنان ، قال: اخبرنا احمد بن ابي بكر ، عن مالك ، عن ابن شهاب ، عن عباد بن تميم ، عن عمه ، انه راى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مستلقيا في المسجد واضعا إحدى رجليه على الاخرى" ، قال ابو حاتم: هذا الفعل الذي استعمله صلى الله عليه وسلم هو مد الرجلين جميعا، ووضع إحداهما على الاخرى، دون ذلك الفعل الذي نهى عنه، وهو ضد قول من جهل صناعة الحديث، فزعم ان اخبار المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم تتضاد وتتهاتر.
Ubadah bin Tamim narrates from his uncle: He saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) lying on his back in the mosque. The Prophet had placed one of his legs over the other.
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The action which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performed here means: He had both his legs straight and placed one leg over the other. This is not the action which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade. This statement is contrary to the view of one who is not proficient in the knowledge of hadith and believes that there are contradictions and differences in the narrations attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
