باب صفة الصلاة - ذكر الخبر المدحض قول من زعم أن هذا الخبر تفرد به أبو الزبير
Chapter on the Manner of Prayer – Report refuting the claim that this narration is unique to Abu al-Zubair
Hadith Number: 1840
اخبرنا الفضل بن الحباب الجمحي ، قال: حدثنا إبراهيم بن بشار الرمادي ، قال: حدثنا سفيان ، عن عمرو بن دينار ، وابي الزبير ، سمعا جابر بن عبد الله ، يزيد احدهما على صاحبه، قال: كان معاذ يصلي مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم يرجع إلى قومه فيصلي بهم، فاخر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الصلاة ذات ليلة، فرجع معاذ فامهم فقرا بسورة البقرة، فلما راى ذلك رجل من القوم، انحرف إلى ناحية المسجد، فصلى وحده، فقالوا: نافقت. قال: لا، ولآتين رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فلاخبرنه. فاتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: إن معاذا يصلي معك ثم يرجع فيؤمنا، وإنك اخرت الصلاة البارحة، فجاء فامنا، فقرا بسورة البقرة، وإني اخرت عنه، فصليت وحدي يا رسول الله، وإنا نحن اصحاب نواضح، وإنا نعمل بايدينا. فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:" يا معاذ، افتان انت؟ اقرا بهم سورة: والليل إذا يغشى سورة الليل آية 1، و سبح اسم ربك الاعلى سورة الاعلى آية 1، والسماء ذات البروج سورة البروج آية 1" .
Amr bin Dinar and Abu Zubair narrate this hadith from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah. One of them has narrated more words than his companion. They state that Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) used to perform prayer behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Then he would go to his neighborhood and lead the people in prayer. Once, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performed the Isha prayer a little late. (Sayyiduna Mu'adh performed the prayer behind the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.) Sayyiduna Mu'adh returned and began to lead those people in prayer. He started reciting Surah Al-Baqarah. When one of the people present saw this, he went to a corner of the mosque and performed the prayer alone. (And left.) The people said to him: You have become a hypocrite. He replied: No, I will go to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and inform him about this. Then he went to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said: Sayyiduna Mu'adh performs prayer behind you, then comes back and leads us in prayer. Last night, you performed the prayer late. Sayyiduna Mu'adh came and started leading us in prayer, and he began reciting Surah Al-Baqarah. I stepped back and performed the prayer alone. O Messenger of Allah! We are people who draw water with camels and work with our own hands. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: O Mu'adh, do you want to put people to trial? When you lead these people in prayer, recite Surah Al-Lail, Surah Al-A'la, and Surah Al-Buruj.
