Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26397

Qutaibah narrated to us, and Abu Sa’eed Al-Ashjaj narrated to us, saying: Yahya bin Al-Yaman narrated to us, on the authority of Ibn Abi Dhib, on the authority of Sa’id bin Sam’an, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said, when the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, used to say the takbir for prayer, he spread his fingers. Abu Issa said the hadith of Abu Hurairah is hasan. He narrated More than one. This hadith is on the authority of Ibn Abi Dhib, on the authority of Sa`id ibn Samaan, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, that when the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, entered into prayer, he would raise He extended his hands. This is more correct than the narration of Yahya bin Al-Yaman, but Yahya bin Al-Yaman made a mistake in this hadith.
