عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ قَالَ: صَلَّى أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِأَصْحَابِهِ وَهُوَ مُرْتَحِلٌ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَرَأَ مِائَةَ آيَةٍ مِنْ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَأَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: مَا أَلَوْتُ أَنْ أَضَعَ قَدَمِي حَيْثُ وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدَمَهُ، وَأَنْ أَصْنَعَ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Abu Majliz says: Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) led his companions in prayer while they were traveling from Makkah Mukarramah to Madinah Munawwarah. He performed two rak'ahs of the 'Isha prayer, then stood up and recited one hundred verses of Surah An-Nisa in one rak'ah. When people objected to this, he said: Wherever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his foot, I have not fallen short in placing my foot in the same place, and in whatever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did, I have not fallen short in doing the same.
