Hadith of Abu Malik Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi (RA)
حديث أبي مالك سهل بن سعد الساعدي
Hadith 1013:22
Yunus ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, Ubaydullah ibn Umar narrated to me, from Abu Hazim, from Sahl ibn Sa’d. Hammad said: Then I met Abu Hazim and he narrated it to me, and I did not deny anything of what he narrated to me. He said: There was fighting between the Banu ‘Amr ibn ‘Awf, and that reached the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, after the Dhuhr prayer. So he came to them to reconcile between them and said to Bilal: "If the prayer time arrives and I have not come, then command Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." He said: When the prayer time arrived, he gave the Adhan, then he gave the Iqamah, and he commanded Abu Bakr, so he stepped forward. When he stepped forward, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, arrived. When he arrived, the people parted. He said: Abu Bakr used to not turn around when he entered into the prayer. He said: When he saw that they would not stop [parting], he turned around, and behold, it was the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said: So he gestured to him with his hand to continue. He said: Abu Bakr retreated backwards. He said: And the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stepped forward. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, finished the prayer, he said: "O Abu Bakr, what prevented you from continuing in your prayer when I gestured to you?" He said: He replied: "It is not for the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in prayer." Then he said: "If something happens to you during the prayer, let the men say 'SubhanAllah' and let the women clap."
حدثنا يونس بن محمد ، حدثنا حماد، حدثني عبيد الله بن عمر، عن أبي حازم، عن سهل بن سعد، قال حماد، ثم لقيت أبا حازم فحدثني به فلم أنكر مما حدثني شيئا، قال: كان قتال بين بني عمرو بن عوف فبلغ ذلك النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بعد الظهر، فأتاهم ليصلح بينهم وقال لبلال: " إن حضرت الصلاة ولم آت، فمر أبا بكر فليصل بالناس ". قال: فلما حضرت الصلاة أذن، ثم أقام فأمر أبا بكر فتقدم، فلما تقدم جاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فلما جاء صفح الناس. قال: وكان أبو بكر إذا دخل في الصلاة لم يلتفت. قال: فلما رآهم لا يمسكون التفت، فإذا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: فأومأ إليه بيده أن امضه. قال: فرجع أبو بكر القهقرى قال: وتقدم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فلما قضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الصلاة قال: " يا أبا بكر، ما منعك إذ أومأت إليك أن تمضي في صلاتك؟ " قال: فقال: ما كان لابن أبي قحافة أن يؤم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم قال: " إذا نابكم في الصلاة شيء، فليسبح الرجال، وليصفق النساء "
