(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَنَا مَنْصُورٌ وَيُونُسُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ (رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى بِهِمْ سَكَتَ سَكْتَتَيْنِ، إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَإِذَا قَالَ {وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ} سَكَتَ أَيْضًا هُنَيَّةً، فَأَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ أُبَيٌّ: إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ كَمَا صَنَعَ سَمُرَةُ
. (Second chain) When Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in prayer, he would observe two pauses: when he began the prayer and when he said {وَلَا الضَّالِّین}, he would also remain silent for a while. When the people objected to this, he wrote (a letter) to Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), who replied that indeed the matter is exactly as Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) has done.
