Original Arabic text

2ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ لاَ صَلاَةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يُصِبْ أَنْفُهُ مَا يُصِيبُ جَبِينُهُ.

Published English translation

It is a narration from him (narrator of previous Hadith) by his father from ’Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah who has said the following: “Reported to me the one who had heard, Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Salah (prayer) does not come into being until one’s nose touches what his forehead has touched.’”

Compiler introduction excluded where present; references mapped to fields; assessment whitespace trimmed; source-supplied English sanad retained separately.

verification Note
Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
