Hadith 2580

عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ قِتَالٌ بَيْنَ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَاهُمْ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَقَالَ: ((يَا بِلَالُ! إِنْ حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَمْ آتِ فَمُرْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ))، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ أَقَامَ بِلَالٌ الصَّلَاةَ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أَذَّنَ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ) ثُمَّ أَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَتَقَدَّمَ بِهِمْ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ مَا دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ صَفَّحُوا وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشُقُّ النَّاسَ حَتَّى قَامَ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِذَا دَخَلَ الصَّلَاةَ لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ فَلَمَّا رَأَى التَّصْفِيحَ لَا يُمْسَكُ عَنْهُ، الْتَفَتَ فَرَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَلْفَهُ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ أَنِ امْضِهْ فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ هُنَيَّةً، فَحَمِدَ لِلَّهِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ مَشَى الْقَهْقَرَى، قَالَ: فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ: ((يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ! مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ أَوْمَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ مَضَيْتَ))، وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أَنْ تَمْضِيَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: لَمْ يَكُنْ لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يُؤُمَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ: ((إِذَا نَابَكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ شَيْءٌ فَلْيُسَبِّحِ الرِّجَالُ وَلْيُصَفِّحِ))، وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ وَلْيُصَفِّقِ النِّسَاءُ، وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((فَأَنْتُمْ لِمَ صَفَّحْتُمْ؟)) قَالُوا: لِنُعْلِمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: ((إِنَّ التَّصْفِيحَ لِلنِّسَاءِ وَالتَّسْبِيحَ لِلرِّجَالِ))
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: There was a dispute among the Banu Amr bin Awf tribe. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) received this news, he went to them after the Zuhr prayer to reconcile between them and said: “Bilal, if the time for prayer comes and I do not arrive, then instruct Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.” When the time for Asr arrived, Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the call to prayer, then the Iqamah, and instructed Sayyiduna Abu Bakr to lead the prayer. So he stepped forward (and began the prayer). Meanwhile, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also arrived. When the people saw him, they began clapping their hands. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came through the rows of people and stood behind Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), when engaged in prayer, would not pay attention to anything else, but this time, when he thought the clapping was not stopping, he turned around and saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) behind him. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to him to continue the prayer. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) paused for a moment, but then, praising Allah, stepped back on his heels, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) moved forward and led the people in prayer. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer, he said: “O Abu Bakr! When I gestured to you, what prevented you from continuing the prayer?” Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: “It does not befit the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in prayer.” Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the people: “If anything happens to you during prayer, men should say ‘Subhan Allah’ and women should clap their hands.” Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Well, why did you clap your hands?” They said: “We wanted to inform Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) of your arrival.” Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Clapping is for women, and saying ‘Subhan Allah’ is for men.”
