1048 - Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Akhdar ibn Minjab narrated to us, saying: My uncle 'Arim narrated to me, saying: Khalid ibn al-Harith narrated to us, saying: I heard 'Ubayd Allah ibn al-Hasan regarding a man who intended to say "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah) in his prayer, but instead said "wa-l-hamdu lillah" (And praise be to Allah), and he said: "I do not know this to invalidate his prayer."
He said: And I heard 'Ubayd Allah saying regarding a man who was struck while in his prayer, so he said: "Bismillah" (In the name of Allah) - he did not view this as cutting off his prayer, and he compared it to a man who sneezes in prayer and praises Allah.
He said: And I heard 'Ubayd Allah saying regarding the one who is overcome by weeping; Abu al-Nu'man said: "He is overcome by weeping in prayer," and he considered it as if he had engaged in an action other than the prayer, and he did not distinguish between what was light and what was intense.
He said: And I heard 'Ubayd Allah saying regarding the one who clears his throat in prayer out of necessity; he did not view that as cutting off his prayer.
1049 - 'Abdah ibn 'Abd Allah narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us, saying: Ja'far ibn Ziyad narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Malik al-'Arzami, from 'Ata', who said: "Whatever happens to run off a man's tongue during prayer that has a basis in the Qur'an is not considered speech."
(1) Thus it is in the original, and perhaps the correct reading is: "su'ila" (he was asked), or: "sa'altu" (I asked). (2) Thus it is in the original, and the correct reading is: "yaqta'" (cuts off).
