حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا سُرَيْجٌ وَيُونُسُ قَالَا ثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ اللَّيْثِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَدِمْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ شَبَبَةٌ، قَالَ: فَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً، فَقَالَ لَنَا: ((لَوْ رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَى بِلَادِكُمْ)) وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَحِيمًا ((فَعَلَّمْتُمُوهُمْ))، قَالَ سُرَيْجٌ وَأَمَرْتُمُوهُمْ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا صَلَاةَ كَذَا حِينَ كَذَا قَالَ يُونُسُ وَمُرُوهُمْ فَلْيُصَلُّوا صَلَاةَ كَذَا فِي حِينِ كَذَا وَصَلَاةَ كَذَا فِي حِينِ كَذَا، فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلْيُؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Malik bin Huwairith, he says: We, a group of young men, came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and stayed for about twenty nights. Since the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was compassionate, he said to us: If you return to your cities, teach them and instruct them to perform such-and-such prayers at such-and-such times. When the time for prayer comes, let one of you give the call to prayer (adhan), and let the eldest among you lead the prayer.
