عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ثَلَاثِ خِلَالٍ قَالَ فَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَا أَقْدَمَكَ قَالَ لِأَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ ثَلَاثِ خِلَالٍ قَالَ وَمَا هُنَّ قَالَ رُبَّمَا كُنْتُ أَنَا وَالْمَرْأَةُ فِي بِنَاءٍ ضَيِّقٍ فَتَحْضُرُ الصَّلَاةُ فَإِنْ صَلَّيْتُ أَنَا وَهِيَ كَانَتْ بِحِذَائِي وَإِنْ صَلَّتْ خَلْفِي خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْبِنَاءِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ تَسْتُرُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهَا بِثَوْبٍ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي بِحِذَائِكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ وَعَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ نَهَانِي عَنْهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَعَنِ الْقَصَصِ فَإِنَّهُمْ أَرَادُونِي عَلَى الْقَصَصِ فَقَالَ مَا شِئْتَ كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَمْنَعَهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى قَوْلِكَ قَالَ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَقُصَّ فَتَرْتَفِعَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي نَفْسِكَ ثُمَّ تَقُصَّ فَتَرْتَفِعَ حَتَّى يُخَيَّلَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الثُّرَيَّا فَيَضَعَكَ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقَدْرِ ذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Harith bin Muawiyah Kindi, he says: I rode to go to Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask about three matters. When I reached Madinah Munawwarah, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: Why have you come? I informed him that I wanted to ask you about three matters. He said: What are those matters? I said: Sometimes it happens that my wife and I are in a small room, and the time for prayer comes. But if I pray, she comes in front of me, and if she prays behind me, she has to go outside the room. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Hang a cloth between you and her, then she can pray in front of you if she wishes. Then I asked him about performing two rak‘ahs after ‘Asr. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from those two rak‘ahs. Then I said: The third matter is that I want to ask you about giving admonition and sermons; people want me to give them admonition and sermons. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do whatever you wish. It seemed as if Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked stopping him from this work. That man said: I want to know your opinion. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I fear that you will give admonition and sermons before them and you will inwardly begin to consider yourself superior and better than others. Then you will give admonition and sermons and you will begin to consider yourself in comparison to them as if you are as high and superior as the Thurayya star, but the more you consider yourself superior to them, Allah Almighty will place you beneath their feet on the Day of Resurrection.
